How to get tickets for Copa America 2024 in Charlotte?

The Copa America will be played between 20 June and 14 July, which coincides with the US peak season, so the best option to secure your seats is to buy Copa America tickets as far in advance as possible.

Unlike the other 2024 Copa America venues, Charlotte's Bank of America Stadium will not host group matches, but will host one of the semi-finals on 10 July at 8pm and the third-place match on 13 July at 8pm.

On the other hand, the match for third place will be the penultimate match of the Copa America 2024, as it will be played just one day before the final, which will be played in Miami on 14 July and will mark the end of the competition.

Date and time of the Copa America matches in Charlotte

The Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte will not host group stage matches, so it is impossible to determine which teams will be playing there. However, according to the Copa America 2024 schedule, the semi-final on 10 July will be contested by the Group C and Group D qualifiers from the quarter-finals in Las Vegas and Glendale.

Among the teams from Group C and Group D that could participate in this semi-final are the United States, Uruguay, Brazil, Colombia and Paraguay.

In addition, the loser of this match will play for third place against the loser of the other semi-final, to be played in New Jersey on 9 July, which has Group A and Group B teams including Argentina and Mexico in the draw.

Charlotte will host the Copa America at Bank of America Stadium, a 75,000 capacity venue that opened in 1996 and is one of the largest capacity venues in the competition. It has also previously hosted the CONCACAF Gold Cup twice, in 2011 and 2015. For the moment, it has not been confirmed as one of the venues for the 2026 World Cup that the United States will host along with Mexico and Canada.

On the other hand, Bank of America Stadium is the home of the Carolina Panthers in the NFL and Charlotte FC since the franchise was admitted to MLS in 2022. As such, it is one of the busiest of the Copa America 2024 stadiums due to its commitment to local league teams.

What are the best locations for the Bank of America Stadium?

The Bank of America Stadium is one of the largest venues among those hosting the Copa America and has a two-tiered design. When purchasing your Copa America tickets, keep in mind that the lower tier is the closest to the stadium:

• The lower section is the closest to the pitch and offers the best seats, in sectors 101 to 323. These seats are usually the most expensive among the traditional seats, not counting the VIP boxes and special services including food and bar.
• The upper section of the stadium includes sections 501 to 554 and has the farthest seats, which still offer a clear view. These seats tend to be the cheapest and also the most numerous, so this is where you will have the best chance of getting tickets at much more affordable prices, even close to the match.

How to get to Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte?

• By bus... from downtown Charlotte you can get there on bus services 1, 2, 8, 18 and 34 for a journey time of approximately 40 minutes.
• By car... you can get there via NC-16 N for a drive of approximately 20 minutes to the stadium car park.

Charlotte will not host group stage matches at the Bank of America Stadium but will host one of the semi-finals and the match for third place, which will be the last but one match of the 2024 edition of the Copa America. Two matches that are expected to receive a large number of spectators, so I advise you to buy your Copa America tickets as early as possible to secure your place at the event. Before purchasing, please note:

• The America's Cup will coincide with the American summer, which is also the peak season and when you will be able to take part in the best activities in Charlotte. This will inevitably lead to a greater influx of tourists, so if you book in advance you can get better prices than last minute shopping.
• If you're on a budget, I recommend buying the seats on the sidelines of Bank of America Stadium. From there you will have one of the best views of the stadium and you will also be closer to the players than from the upper sections.
• If you want to save money, you can opt for the upper seats or the seats at the back of the stadium, behind the goals. As they are further away from the pitch or have a reduced view, they tend to have better prices. You will also find a larger capacity, so you may have a better chance of getting tickets for a match.

If you can't get tickets for the semi-final or third-place match at Bank of America Stadium, you can opt for nearby alternatives such as the matches at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, which is located about 2.5 hours drive from Charlotte and is one of the most important venues for Copa America 2024. A total of two matches will be played, both in the group stage:

• The first will mark the opening of the event in the match between Argentina and Canadaça This match will be played on 20 June at 8 p.m. East Coast time.
• The Group C match will be played on 27 June at 6 p.m. and will pit the United States against Panama. This match will mark the presentation of the hosts on the second day of the opening round and will also allow you to discover the warmth of the home crowd.

From 20 June to 14 July, the Copa America will take place. If you're planning to visit Charlotte to watch one of the matches live, you can combine your trip with some of the best tours of this destination.

Some of the top things to do in the city in addition to enjoying Copa America tickets include buying a ghost tour of Charlotte, taking a jet ski tour of Jordan Lake, participating in a photo-op tour and seeing the city by bus on a scenic bus tour of the main sights.

Also, keep in mind that the games at Bank of America Stadium will be played from 8pm onwards, so attending a game during the Copa America will be one of the best things to do at night in Charlotte.
