So i woke up yesterday morning (3/28/15) at 4 a.m. to drive myself to FedExField so i can watch Argentina take on El Salvador. From Indianapolis it takes about 9 hours. The game was to be played at 4 p.m. that day. I got myself section 1 row 1 behind Argentinas bench. I was stoked to be out there. Now i get there at 2:45 after game traffic and parking. Make my way into the stadium to find my seat.... It was fully crowded with just random people who wouldn't leave even after i told them they were in my seat. So i was patient and thought i'd wait until it gets closer to gametime. Got a hotdog and a soft drink. Came back down at 4 pm to find it even more crowded. Match was delayed. So im trying to make my way telling people they are in my seat but they just ignored me. I became infuriated after an hour of this already. I went to try and find some security as there was less than 10 minutes left before the match. I found nobody. I push my way down and get to my seat right at kickoff. For the next 33 minutes, there were about 15 people in my box standing up or crammed sitting on rails or stairs. There are only 6 seats between row 1 and 2 in their so called Dream Suite. With 10 minutes left in the first half i was able to finally kinda see the other side of the field when an older lady that was security came down and tried to kick people out. Yes, tried. Nobody would move. She checked tickets and told people to leave and they ignored her. This man covered in El Salvador gear threatened to punch the guy that was next to me if he didn't shut up about him blocking our view. Before i know its halftime and i'm fed up. Went to use the restroom and get a hotdog. Came back down and my seat was taken by a random person who wouldn't get up after i told him that it was my seat. This went on until minute 68 of the second half. Another security lady came and then left. I stood in front of the guy who took my seat and he finally got up and left. I was trying to be civil. Security lady came and sat next to me until minute 78 of second half trying to tell me they don't allow that kind of thing there and they are kicking people out. Found out the guy who took my seat was told to leave 3 times prior from different seats. So she leaves with 7 minutes left in the game and what do you know? about 10 people jump in the box and stand and block my view again. I missed basically all the first and second half due to the lack of security. I paid a lot of money for my ticket which apparently has no merit. I drove a total of 1300 miles (20.5 hours) and spend way too much money on the trip for FedExField to have no security. What the hell is the point of buying tickets at different prices!?! Why not make them all one price and everybody can fight to the death for seating. I have never felt more disrespected in my life. I am drained and could have spent all that money in Indy on Final 4 tickets. What a fuck up this has been. Shame on you FedexField. Shame on you.
