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

In general, the seats at the back of the stadium, behind the goals and at the top of the stadium are cheaper than the tickets for the sides of the pitch, from where the view is closer. Read the 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, due to the fact that 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 your tickets as early as possible.

Please note that Brazil will be playing in Santa Clara. The Verdeamarela is one of the great candidates and also one of the most popular 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 3 p.m. West Coast time. The second will be on July 2 at 6 p.m. and will pit Brazil against Colombia at the close of the third day of Group D, so it could prove to be a decisive match for qualification.

Unlike in 2016, when Levi's Stadium also hosted a Copa America quarter-final that year, in 2024 it will not host any knockout matches.

On the other hand, the only team that will repeat its presence at this venue from the Copa America Centenario edition will be Colombia, who in 2016 defeated the home side United States.

Dates and times of the Copa America 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 as, although they are not going through a good football moment, they are one of the great candidates to win the title. The other teams will be Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela.

Brazil

Brazil have won five of the last ten editions of the Copa America and, as the biggest winners in the history of the World Cup, they are a candidate to be taken into account. However, they will face a number of challenges, including overcoming the absence of injured Neymar, if they are to gain revenge for the final lost at the Maracana in 2021. As you can imagine buying Brazil vs Colombia tickets is an option to consider.

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

Colombia

Colombia is a historic Copa America team and comes with a very good third place in 2021, although they 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 for a repeat result. Don't hesitate and buy your tickets for Colombia vs. Brazil, one of the most important matches.

• Number of Copa América participations... 23 editions.
• Best result in Copa América... one time champion in the 2021 edition.
• Last Copa América result... 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 America of never having made it onto the podium of the final medal standings. In 2024 they will be looking 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 Copa América participations... 29 editions.
• Best result in Copa América... Fourth place in 2 occasions, the last one in 1993.
• Last Copa América result... quarter-finalist 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 recent 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 with Ecuador, Mexico and Jamaica. Buy Venezuela vs. Ecuador tickets and see if they make it.

• Number of Copa América appearances... 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.

The 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 teams in California, along with Los Angeles Galaxy.

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

What are the best locations for Levi's Stadium?

Levi's Stadium has a semi-circular layout on three levels, with the lower level, which occupies the 101st through 296th sectors, being the best view. Likewise, the middle and upper tiers offer expansive views, although the seats are located somewhat away from the field of play. However, these seats tend to offer a larger number of tickets at affordable prices.

If you are buying tickets for the Copa America in Santa Clara, keep in mind:

• The matches will coincide with the local summer and also with the high season in California and in the main cities of the state, 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 of the designated venues, it is also located in a very busy tourist area.
• 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 matches 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 place 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 Californian venue for Copa America 2024, which is located in Inglewood, near Los Angeles. While not too close, it is at least in the same state and you can watch Brazil, Venezuela and Mexico at SoFi Stadium.

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

Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara is 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 is also 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. Either way, you'll be able to combine the passion of an event of the America's Cup's magnitude with some of California's most popular attractions.
