MIAMI, July 11 (UPI) -- The least expensive tickets for Sunday's Copa America soccer tournament finale between Argentina and Colombia are priced at more than $2,000, according to Thursday listings on secondary market websites.

Lionel Messi and his Argentine teammates will take on Colombia in the finale at 8 p.m. EDT Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla. The matchup will air on Fox.

Hard Rock Stadium, the home of the NFL's Miami Dolphins, has a capacity of 65,000.

TickPick, which does not charge fees, had a single ticket available for $2,192 Thursday afternoon. The secondary marketplace also had tickets listed for more than $35,000.

Gametime's least-expensive single ticket was $2,162, including fees. Stubhub's least expensive ticket was $2,164, while SeatGeek's was listed for $2,188.

Ticketmaster's least-expensive single ticket was $2,522. Ticketmaster's most-expensive ticket eclipsed $11,000.

The No. 1 Argentines are heavy favorites to beat No. 12 Colombians and to defend their Copa America crown. Colombia won its first -- and only -- Copa America title in 2001. The Colombians lost the Argentines in a penalty shootout in their last Copa America meeting, a 2021 semifinal in Brasilia, Brazil.

They beat the Argentines in the tournament's group stage in 2019 for their first Copa America win against their South American foes since 1999.
