"We tried to make the people understand 'please take it easy, we will try to solve the problems, if there is available seats, we will try to get you in'. The tickets have been issued for six months, people are waiting until the last minute and they want to come to the stadium."
Tell me, those of you who were there, did anyone come out and speak to the crowd like this? No. The police were just shouting, "Yalla! Wara, wara!" (Go on! Get back!)
And I can count dozens of people who bought their tickets at least 2 weeks before, if not months before.
