Tickets for the Copa America are now available on the official Hellotickets website. Prices depend on several factors such as the stage of the competition, the opponents to be faced and, mainly, the location of the seats.

In general, the seats at the back of the stadium, behind the goals, and at the top are cheaper than the tickets for the sides of the field, from where the view is closer. Read the most complete guide to the 2024 edition and get all the information you need for your purchase.

How to get tickets for Copa America 2024 in Santa Clara?

You can already buy tickets for the Copa America on the official website of Hellotickets. However, because the Copa America coincides with the summer in the United States, which is also part of the high season in California, I advise you to buy tickets as early as possible.

Please note that Brazil will be present in Santa Clara. The Verdeamarela is one of the great candidates and also one of the most attractive teams in the world.

A total of two Copa America group stage matches will be played at Levi's Stadium. The first will be on June 22 at 3 p.m. West Coast time and will pit Ecuador against Venezuela in Group B. The second will be on July 2 at 6 p.m. and will cross Brazil with Colombia in the closing of the third date of Group D, so it could turn out to be a decisive match for qualification.

Unlike what happened in 2016, when Levi's Stadium also hosted a quarterfinal match of that year's Copa America, in 2024 it will not host matches of the knockout stage.

On the other hand, the only team that will repeat its presence in this venue with respect to the Copa America Centenario edition will be Colombia, which in 2016 defeated the local United States.

Date and time of the Copa América matches in Santa Clara

A total of four CONMEBOL teams will play their first round matches at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, with Brazil being the main protagonist, since, although it is not going through a good soccer moment, it is one of the great candidates to win the title. The other teams will be Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela.

Brazil

Brazil has won five of the last ten editions of the Copa América and, as the greatest winner in the history of the World Cup, is a candidate to be taken into account. However, it will face several challenges, including overcoming the absence of Neymar, who is injured, if it wants to get revenge for the final lost at the Maracana in 2021. As you can imagine buying Brazil vs. Colombia tickets is an option to keep in mind.

• Number of participations in Copa América... 37 editions.
• Best result in Copa América... champion 9 times, the last one in 2019.
• Last result in Copa América... finalist in the 2021 edition.

Colombia

Colombia is a historic Copa América team and comes with a very good third place in 2021, although it will have to recover from some bad results in recent times and find the ideal team combining experienced players and young talents. In any case, they will be looking to repeat the result obtained. Don't hesitate and buy tickets for Colombia vs. Brazil, one of the most important matches.

• Number of Copa América participations... 23 editions.
• Best result in Copa América... champion on one occasion in the 2021 edition.
• Last result in Copa América... third in the 2021 edition.

Ecuador

Ecuador has shown great progress in recent years, especially since it played its first World Cup in 2002, but it has the thorn in its side in the Copa América of having never even made it onto the podium of the final medal standings. In 2024 they will look to do so with Moises Caicedo, one of the most expensive players in history. Buy Ecuador vs. Venezuela tickets and enjoy the match at Levi's Stadium.

• Number of participations in Copa América... 29 editions.
• Best result in Copa América... fourth place in 2 occasions, the last one in 1993.
• Last Copa América result... quarterfinalist in the 2021 edition.

Venezuela

Venezuela is the only CONMEBOL team that has not managed to play in a World Cup so far, but in the last few years it has shown a very interesting progression and comes to the Copa América with a good record. They will be looking to make an impact in a very even group that they share with Ecuador, Mexico and Jamaica. Buy Venezuela vs. Ecuador tickets and see if they make it.

• Number of participations in Copa América... 19 editions.
• Best result in Copa América... fourth place once, in the 2011 edition.
• Last Copa América result... eliminated in the first round in 2021.

Copa America games in Santa Clara will be played at Levi's Stadium, a 68,500-seat venue that opened in 2014 and, despite its short life, has already hosted a Super Bowl, a CONCACAF Gold Cup and four games in the 2016 edition of the world's oldest national team tournament.

It is also home to the San Francisco 49ers, one of the NFL's most traditional and popular teams. On the other hand, it also usually hosts San Jose Earthquakes matches, which is one of the founding teams of the MLS and one of the most popular in California, along with the Los Angeles Galaxy.

On the other hand, Levi 's Stadium can also receive musical performances, concerts and shows in which it can expand its capacity up to 77,000 spectators, making it one of the most used multipurpose stadiums on the West Coast. In addition, in 2026 it will be one of the venues for the World Cup to be jointly organized by the United States, Mexico and Canada.

Levi's Stadium has a semicircular design distributed in three levels, with the lower level, which occupies the sectors from 101 to 296, being the one with the best view. Likewise, the middle and upper sectors offer wide views, although the seats are located somewhat far from the field of play. In any case, these sites usually offer a larger number of tickets at affordable prices.

If you are purchasing Copa America tickets in Santa Clara, keep in mind:

• The games will coincide with the local summer and also with the high season in California and in the state's major cities, such as San Francisco and San Jose. That's why you will need to buy them in advance to avoid selling out or price increases, because although Levi's Stadium is one of the largest capacity among the designated venues, it is also located in a very busy tourist site.
• Santa Clara is very close to some of California's major cities, so you can combine the games at Levi's Stadium with some of San Francisco's best activities or Sacramento's attractions, allowing you to not only enjoy the sporting event but also discover the region's tourist sites.
• If you decide to combine the Copa America games with a tourist alternative, I advise you to book these activities in advance as well, as this way you will be able to secure your spot and also get better rates than you could find if you decide to buy at the last minute.

If you can't find tickets for the games at Levi's Stadium, you can opt for the other California venue for Copa America 2024, which is located in Inglewood, near Los Angeles. While not too close, at least it's in the same state and you'll be able to watch Brazil, Venezuela and Mexico play at SoFi Stadium.

Depending on your travel plans in the region, you can also choose the Nevada venue and Allegiant Stadium, which is located in Paradise, just outside Las Vegas, as an alternative.

Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara is located very close to San Francisco, so one of the alternatives you will find is to participate in some of the best tours and excursions in the city. Among them you can visit Alcatraz, take a boat ride, participate in a wine tasting or gastronomic tour or visit the most outstanding national parks in the region.

You can also opt for cultural activities, such as visiting the best museums in San Francisco, which during the summer in the city usually offer a reduced rate to tourists; or visit the San Francisco Bay Aquarium, which is one of the largest and most complete in the United States and will also be an ideal alternative if you plan to travel with your family or children.

If you are looking for a nature or adventure plan, you can choose to visit Sausalito and Muir Woods or take a trip to Yosemite from San Francisco. In any case, you can combine the passion of an event of the magnitude of the America's Cup with some of California's most popular attractions.
