No excuse. They could simply have said the building is full and send people away at the hate. The people that were at the gate selling the tickets could have also simply said "sorry but we are full" and keep the gate locked. I am really disappointed and even more now that they are trying to excuse it away. They could have come back with we are sorry for our poor judgement and the money made from the sales will be donated to an orphange or a charity. This is deceitful and unGodly
