Copa America final in Miami: Resale ticket selling, trading, giving away may be opportunity for criminals
MIAMI – Law enforcement wants Argentina and Colombia fans to remember that responding to ads related to resale ticket selling, trading, or “giving away” tickets could present an opportunity for criminals.
Verified resale tickets in the primary market, meaning tickets sold by fans and authenticated by Ticketmaster, were still available Saturday for the match at 8 p.m., Sunday, at the Hard Rock Stadium, in Miami Gardens.
The FBI has warned about cybercriminals who use ticket scalping bots to exploit the online secondary ticket marketplace that “is rife with counterfeit or invalid tickets.” The Federal Trade Commission has been dealing with the battle between bots and the ticket industry.
The online secondary ticket marketplace comes with risks since these depend on the honesty of the resellers. Sites like StubHub, and VividSeats may provide a refund but will not compensate users for other expenses.
The Better Business Bureau aims to help customers gauge trustworthiness. Here are the company policies and accreditations of some of the most popular event ticket sales companies:
There will be several public watch parties in Miami-Dade County. Argentinians and Colombians already have their regular choice of restaurants and bars to help cure the nostalgia of living away from their countries.
Fans may visit the mall in Aventura to explore the exhibits and shop, later go to the Wynwood Marketplace for the ambiance, and then head to Miami Beach where there are two very different watch parties at a poolside club and a theater with a screen.
Here is a list of watch parties for fans:

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A 12-year-old girl was shot in the arm after gunfire erupted in a northwest Miami-Dade neighborhood early Tuesday morning, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said they responded just before 1 a.m. to the area of Northwest 64th Street and Northwest 21st Avenue in the county’s Gladeview area, where they found three vehicles struck by gunfire, including a silver Hyundai.
“The car was parked outside of the residence. It was occupied by three juveniles, so it was the girl and her two siblings that were in the vehicle. The mom was outside of the vehicle at the time, so this could have been a very different outcome,” MDSO Detective Samantha Choon said.
Authorities said Miami-Dade Fire Rescue medics transported the girl to a nearby hospital in stable condition.
A family member of the victim told Local 10’s Jackie Pascale that the girl is now home and doing OK.
They said neither her siblings nor their mother was injured in the shooting.
According to investigators, no arrests have been made, and detectives have not released any suspect information at this time.
Neighbor Marie Grimes said she was shaken after hearing multiple gunshots.
“I heard the booms — boom, boom, boom, boom — and I said, ‘Oh my God, what’s happening?’” she said. “Maybe five or six, ’cause look at that right there. I’m just glad the little girl is OK.”
Investigators asked neighbors to check their surveillance or Ring camera footage from around 1 a.m. and contact authorities with any information.
Anyone with information on the shooting is urged to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477. Anonymous tips are accepted.

Three people were hurt after a building caught fire on Lincoln Road on Sunday, according to authorities.
The Miami Beach Fire Department said it was working a fire near 230 Lincoln Road.
The flames had spread from a fire in a manhole that “ignited an FPL vault of an adjacent building,” officials said.
Three people were taken to Mount Sinai Medical Center with minor injuries.
The building was evacuated, and FPL has shut off power to the surrounding area, the fire department said.
Drivers were asked to avoid the area of Collins Avenue between 16th and 17th streets while crews worked the scene.
