Important dates
How hard is this claim to file?
Watch out for
- The $14 million fund gets split across every valid claim, so your actual payout depends on how many people file. Administration and attorney fees come out first.
- Denied-entry and denied-access claims pay very differently — up to $2,000 versus $100 per ticket. Make sure you pick the right category for what actually happened to you.
- The $300 travel cost reimbursement isn't a bonus on top of $2,000. It's included inside that $2,000 cap for denied-entry claimants.
We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.

What happened exactly?
The Copa America final on July 14, 2024, at Hard Rock Stadium was chaotic. Many ticketholders were denied entry outright, and others who got in couldn't reach their seats or use the facilities. This lawsuit was filed against South Florida Stadium LLC and others over those failures.

That depends on how many people file valid claims. The fund is $14 million total. If you were denied entry, you're eligible for up to $2,000 per ticket (with up to $300 for travel costs). If you got in but lost access, it's $100 per ticket. Attorney fees and admin costs come out of the fund first, and then the rest is split among valid claimants.
What counts as proof?
The claim form will specify exactly what's accepted, but you should gather your ticket confirmation or purchase receipt, any travel expense receipts if you're claiming travel costs, and anything else documenting what happened that day (emails, photos, etc.).
