Copa America: Ticketless fans climb through air vents, over fence in attempt to get in stadium

Chaos erupted at the Copa America final on Sunday between Argentina and Colombia at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. Thousands of ticketless fans attempted to force their way into the stadium, leading to a delay of over an hour.

Security struggled to contain the situation as fans resorted to climbing into the ventilation system and over fences. The match was brought to a standstill, with both teams taken off the field as organizers and police worked to restore order.

Ticketed fans were left stranded outside as the situation unfolded.

"We've been here for an hour and a half outside the stadium. They open the gate and there is total chaos. At least 500 people got in the last time they opened the gate, and we paid 10,000 dollars for five tickets and we are still outside and they don't open the gate. It's chaos," Colombian fan Jorge Daniels said.
