The Legendary Tour Iron Maiden by South America It was in the news last weekend, although not precisely because of its interpretive and musical quality: more than 100 fans they were arrested in Colombia before they showed up in the park Simon Bolivar de Bogota,, in the midst of the riots that occurred on the outskirts of the enclosure.
The reason for them seems to have been the end of the 25000 tickets put up for salemaximum capacity of the event), a situation that fueled the angry claims of hundreds of followers who ended up confronting the police between stones and tear gas.
Of the 111 people arrested, 40 they are still in police custody; on the other hand, an agent recovers in the hospital after a reconstructive surgery to which he had to undergo.
The official report says that “the riots arose because a group of criminals wanted to enter the concert without buying tickets".
Now the local authorities will enter into debate to decide if this type of musical (heavy metal) concerts will ever be allowed again in the Colombian capital.
Despite the situation Iron Maiden were able to perform their show, although during the same they did not comment on anything thereon.
