Security? According to all the reports, he was being swarmed by VIP elites who basically prevented the commoners from seeing what they paid for (tickets being the equivalent of around $150 I think?). Imagine blatantly scamming 100,000 people TO THEIR FACE. It's not just the violent reaction, it's the corrupt behavior that provoked it.
I looked up other reports (of course, all of them just more X posts, so no more trustworthy than this one), some saying the conversion was 133 euros ($150), and none of them were saying surrounded by "security." The "dignitaries" were the VIP cliques (the TMC party? Of course it was politicians...).
Could you show us the promotional material for those ticket sales? Were they specifically advertised with slogans about being able to see Messi. Or was it just a simple team A vs team B and nothing else. That's a crucial detail that decides everything.
Yeah, smashing seats is unnecessary, but the anger is definitely justified. If I were going to scam people, even OK people, I'd put good security measures in place.
My little soccer fan asked to see Messi play in a national soccer match as his birthday gift. I paid an extra $400 dollars for two tickets. Game day arrives, we are sitting in the nose bleed section, a tweet shows Messi never left Florida due to muscle fatigue. He will not be on the roster. Son shrugs his shoulders. We still had a good time.
It's too bad that Americans are too incompetent to do well paying white collar work. Otherwise, we wouldn't need to bring in millions of these people who are obviously much more intelligent than any of us are to do them for us.
This guy is a soccer player, he was probably just going to tell anecdotes and give a speech or something... for ~133 dollars... in a third world country...
The little bit of discourse I went through, there was NO mention of any sort of match at all. As far as I could tell, it was literally just a tour stop of this Messi guy.
They sold tickets for the presentation of mulatto Mbapee at Real Madrid in Madrid and 50-60k paid to see him arrive at the club and speak for 5 minutes.
Idiots spend their money really wisely, be black, White, jeet or anything in between.
BTW, since his arrival they didn't win any championship.
So... they couldn't see him because of security so they riot and prove the security was necessary? Am I parsing this right? Because goddamn.

They're only upset because they are on the other side of the scam this time.
$133 is a lot of money when you’re poor.
It's fine, they'll just scam some more grandmas to make up for it.
I agree. I'm just quoting the OP's link as to why I mentioned security.

Price of entry for what? What game? There was never even a mention of a game in anything.

The business elite honestly think this.
Our President and his party honestly think this too. We have no party to represent us.
100%
Isn't this typical soccer behavior? Win a match, burn down everything, lose a match, burn down something,...
Imagine how angry they would get at "Ronaldo the No Redeemer".
literal ape howls
I suggest they call customer service lol
So things got.... Messi?
Wow, I assumed this was a concert at first.

To be fair, this IS bullshit. Professional sports are a scam for normal people.
So was this a scheduled match against another club, or was it just a practice session?
The little bit of discourse I went through, there was NO mention of any sort of match at all. As far as I could tell, it was literally just a tour stop of this Messi guy.
And they sold tickets for that?
jeets gonna jeet

“This Messi guy”
lol
India. Apparently there's a Salt Lake Stadium there.
At least they're throwing chairs instead of shit.
Scamming, skimming and hacking scammerjeets should be legal. Those scum exploited poor, vulnerable Americans who could not fight back.
Who?
DO NOT REDEEM
Look how cheaply made those seats are, too.
Yeet the Jeets.
