Asia cup 2011 finals

What a pity? The 2011 Asia Cup finals might have given us a good game but the administration went on to be a super flop.
Over 10000 people with Tickets were denied entrance to the stadium before kick off time. The reason because the stadium is full. These guys filled the stadium with school children and free entry for all between 2:30 to 3:30pm. Thus people with tickets were made a Jackass.
What are they going to do for 2022?

I think the scene that you faced was the main reason that the organisers didnt let any one in later. They mostly feared that the seats that they filled by free entry would have clashes with the orginal owner of the seats who paid for it. if they let all the 10000 or so inside there would have been a disaster waiting, All created by the AFC smart goons

it almost happened to me on day one. And since I was like "Qatar" you better get with the program. I am sorry for those who had tickets and were denied entry. I was at the game today... luckely, at half time they announced the official attendance 37,000.... I was like what ??? there were at least 50,000. And what I am trying to say.... thats why!!!!

They gave free entry on the wrong day! Don't they know that people usually go on the first and last day of an event?! They should've given free entry on those days that there were less fans!

We bought our tickets weeks before the game just to secure our seats. We were so shocked to see there were people already seated on the seats specified on our tickets. I was about to cry since I really wanted to watch the game live and thank God my parents didn't just let it go and argued with those men. The security guards and ushers were sooooooooo useless! In the end we got our seats but ONLY after a long argument. I'm so disappointed. Those ushers and security guards are being paid without doing their job! What a waste of money.

I was one of the people who almost got denied an entry even if I bought a ticket! It sucks! They should've given free entry only if the game started and there were empty seats! What about us who paid?! We (me and my family) had to argue with the men seated on our seats and thank God the game started right after we have taken our seats. But still it sucks!!!

I was one of them who was with an entry ticket where they didnt allow inside and said stadium is full.

This is not fair at all what they did for the people who got ticket. They made the biggest mistake on a final day by allowing people inside for free..

will they do the same for 2022 world cup as well.. ??? because no point buying a ticket in advance .
