“At the end of the game, as everyone saw, the field was invaded and the logistics people behaved badly and attacked several of us from Santa Fe, the managers especially, they attacked us with pushes and grabbed us by the paw,” said Méndez.

Méndez warned that he will pay attention if the authorities in charge make the decision that the fans go to the Bogotá stadium, but this Tuesday he clarified that they will have to pay the most expensive ticket.

“I don’t decide. There was no agreement. I don’t know the mayor of Bucaramanga, nor do I know his name. Without having any relationship with the bars, I learned that for a ticket that always costs 30 or 40 thousand pesos they charged them 235 thousand,” said the leader.

“We had reserved the sector of the western north stand, which has a cost of $265,000. So we will propose that that be the rate,” declared.

“The most expensive lease is that of Bogotá. We have to pay 10 percent of the box office. That means that we will have to pay $1.2 billion in taxes without counting security and logistics. We ask for the mayor’s help to collaborate with us with the presence of the police without charge to provide the security that is required in that tribune,” said Méndez.
