What bachelors are, and aren't, allowed to enter seems to be a pretty random affair, and for sporting events often depends on how many empty seats are on show to the cameras.

If I was a bachelor looking for some entertainment, I'm not sure I'd want to walk out to Losail if there was a chance I'd be turned away and have walk all the way home in shame. More likely, I'd take a trip to the cinema where I knew I'd be let in.

I thought it was humiliating for the workers being trucked into the stadiums for the Doha Games. Used as props for the cameras because no one else was interested in the events. "Sit here. Pretend to be interested. Don't look at the women."
