Refund for Tickets of AFC Final
Wee all must ask for Ticket Refund AFC Final
I was also among thousands ( at least 8 to 10 thousands)who didn’t allowed o enter the stadium even everyone has tickets they said stadium is full. I wonder how???????
I think me all must complain Asian Football Confederation about the incident and ask for ticket refund or at least they should give pressure to Qatar Foot Ball Authorities.
please send Messages for the same on the following link to Asian Football Confederation.

We all need to highlight the same to Asian Football Confederation that what had happen to Foot Fans in Qatar and ask for refund.
For those who want to know how and where they can get a refund for their unused AFC final match tickets, go to this post http://www.qatarliving.com/node/1611439
Look up the Facebook Group: AFC Bump Off.
If you got jilted, join the group, and upload photos of your valid tickets, with row and seat #, etc.
You might also mention from what country you (or your jilted friends or relatives) travelled for this game, and how much they paid for air tickets, lodging, etc. Only to be denied entry to a game they paid for seeing.
My brother in law came from Singapore just for this final match. We bought tickets well beforehand, and at the door were faced, NOT with explanations or offers of compensation, but with riot police with batons.
This is not about the money, but the principle. And even though it is only football, IN PRINCIPLE it is the same thing which the revolution in Egypt is about - incompetent or corrupt authorities hiding from accountability behind a wall of riot police.

Also, post any video or pics of the debacle which you have.
Jack, it will not be "allowed" to become an issue on an international level :)
It will all be forgotten in a few days .... :O(
The only option for Qatar is to pay back the genuine ticket holders... or stand back and watch how its name gets ruined by press... internationally.
Looks like the international press has not yet smelled the scandal.
Barack Obama will say ..."see I told you ...they dont deserve it"...lol
Jassim al-Rumaihi, operations director at the tournament, said the gates were closed five minutes after the match started and never opened again. The tight security was in place because members of the emirate's royal family were attending the match, he said.
"We feel sorry for people without a ticket. I hope it will not give a bad impression of tournament in general," Al-Rumaihi said. "The tournament was very successful. It was marvelous. We were hoping we wouldn't have something like this happen but it happened and we will try to solve it. You can't satisfy everyone."

Interesting, I thought people with tickets couldn't get in then why are they feeling sorry for people without tickets :-/
Let us stop blaming qatar or its people, they simply pay people who claim they know what to be done....
tooo bad
its not about the refund. i think people are posting to express their anger and disappointments. some would say we cannot do anything anymore... IMO its better to voice it out, nobody knows whose listening.
what happened last night was completely ridiculous! we paid for our tickets only to be closed down and what's worst, we were shepherded away from the gate and the fence by a Police riding in horses like beggars and squatters.
is this how Qatar will handle the FIFA 2022???
why to ask any country capable of organizing any football event! did you get any complaint b4 except here in Qatar...
why bothered urself to go see the game live, better to stay & watch at home than to face the hectic resistance... there would be no reason of refund what u have paid... is any condition written over the ticket of refunding money back... ;)
rEzyz why not ask every country to stop playing Football at all, it's Football creating all these problems right?
Let us think that it was donated to AFC( not KFC)........................................................
Forget the money

Yesterday evening, as soon as I went back home with two USELESS tickets bought 1 month ago, I wrote to AFC and to FIFA also. I don't have any expectation about refound, that in any "serious" country would be sure, but of course I asked for it.
I think that's important to protest, in a loud voice, so that maybe, next time, inshallah, things go better....
inshallah
I know No they don’t refund DaRuDe
Purpose for Highlighting this is to make them aware what had happened and how good they are in organizing and events.
FIFA must reconsider their decision for FIFA 2022 Bid
Qatar Incorporation is not Intel...
Intel Pentium had replaced each faulty Pentium chips it has shipped with a new good one. That was the deciding moment in history when all hardware dealers swore allegiance to Intel.
That is why Intel is the market leader today. Had it not replaced the chips.... AMD would have been the market leader and Intel would have had to close shop.
think they will refund you??
I hope they will take your comments and action on it. Else you have to understand that current AFC President is Qatari.
these are my videos from what happened:
