It all started in the Colombian capitol city of Bogotá, where over 100 Iron Maiden Fans were arrested before the concert as riots broke out. Ticket-less fans started attacking police, throwing rocks and damaging public property, when finally tear-gas was used by authorities. 40 of the fans arrested still remain in custody. Reports state that the riots broke out after a group of malcontents wanted to enter the show without tickets. Local authorities are set to debate whether heavy metal acts should be allowed to take place in the country in the future, although it wasn't the first time this type of event has happened there, or even in nearby countries because of a Metal band's show-up.
