Wrestlemania Kicks Off In Front Of Half-Empty Jerry World After Ticketing Mishap [UPDATE]

Irate fans chanted “LET US IN! LET US IN!” as a stadium ticketing issue kept tens of thousands of pro wrestling fans from entering the stadium in Dallas before tonight’s Wrestlemania kicked off at 6 p.m. local time.

Fans holding pricey tix weren’t very happy—and some couldn’t handle being stuck outside with nowhere to go:

Update (9:22 p.m.): The WWE and Jerry World provided the following statement to Deadspin: “To ensure the safety of WWE fans, increased security measures were put in place tonight. We apologize that it may have taken some fans longer than usual to get into AT&T Stadium.”
