The Sidemen Charity Match 2022 concluded on September 24, 2022, with the Sidemen taking the victory over the YouTube All-Stars 8-7. The event was quite successful as the Sidemen raised over \u00a31,000,000 for their chosen charities in just over three hours. Unfortunately, the event was not without controversy as a small subset of fans attempted to break into the stadium, forcing security to lock down the venue early. Fans attempted Sidemen Charity Event break-in The announcement came from the Sidemen Twitter account, which confirmed the incident after relaying the amount of money raised for charity. \u201cUnfortunately however due to a small minority attempting to break into the stadium, we were forced to lock the gates meaning a number of you weren\u2019t able to get in despite having tickets.\u201d you weren\u2019t able to get in despite having tickets. \u2014 Sidemen (@Sidemen) September 24, 2022 This was a security and safety decision, however we appreciate this is incredibly frustrating and disappointing for those unfairly impacted. We deeply apologise for any inconvenience caused. The Sidemen explained that the decision to lock the gates after the incident \u201cwas a security and safety decision.\u201d The group apologized \u201cfor any inconvenience caused\u201d to any ticket holders not able to get into the venue and offered fans to contact them \u201cwith any questions\u201d relating to the incident. Fans in the comment immediately called for the influencer team to refund those affected by the incident. \u201cI hope you can figure out which ticket holders didn\u2019t get in based on which tickets were not scanned and refund them,\u201d said Twitter user cillianharford. Others were upset that the tweets didn\u2019t outright mention the option of getting a refund for those affected, like user LukeBullen10 who said \u201cNo mention of giving them refunds.\u201d I hope you can figure out which ticket holders didn\u2019t get in based on which tickets were not scanned and refund them. \u2014 Cillian Harford (@cillianharford) September 24, 2022 I\u2019d add a gesture of goodwill such as a Side+ subscription too! Least you could do for the genuine fans affected \u2764\ufe0f Hopefully, the Sidemen are able to compensate those who were affected by the incident in some way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sidemen apologize to Charity Match ticket holders after a \u201csmall minority\u201d attempted to break into the stadium YouTube: SidemenDespite hosting a successful charity soccer match, the Sidemen apologized to ticket holders who could not get in after an attempted break-in incident.
