Was this the first game in which large amounts of ticketless fans thought they should be allowed to come into the stadium, or has this happened at the other previous matches at this Copa America? ---

It has happened before, not in Copa America that I remember but in local matches, usually the organizers have the possibility in mind and nothing happens, not the case this time. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/copa-america-2024/1003139.md?page=8)
