Filled to capacity

When we got back to the stadium, the entrances were packed. A young Syrian helped us find a way in because the stadium was already full (they oversold tickets). We went to the VIP section and even asked at the women and children's section, but they wouldn't let anyone else in. Finally, as things seemed bleak and the riot police came out to quell the shoving crowds, they let Geoff and Cajsa in at the VIP gate, and I squeezed in after them.
The Syrian helping us out didn't get in himself; he was just trying to help a bunch of clueless foreigners -- that's how nice people are around here!
