Cowboys 'Party Pass' Problems Anger Fans

Hundreds of Cowboys "Party Pass" holders say they didn't get to see a live game Sunday night, despite paying for parking and $29 for a standing-room-only ticket.

In fact, the gates at one section wouldn't even open, and fans were pounding on the doors to get the attention of people inside.

Fans were furious and say they felt cheated.

"What Jerry Jones is sending out to the everyday fan is, 'I don't care about you. I care about selling tickets, and if I oversell, then you get screwed,'" said fan Hector Murillo.

Shortly after a FOX 4 photographer spoke with Murillo, an event worker summoned an Arlington police officer and had FOX 4 escorted from the property. This, despite the fact that the stadium is partially paid for with public money. (SEE VIDEO AT LEFT)

The Cowboys say they sold 30,000 "Party Passes" at last night's record-breaking attendance game. 15,000 fans were supposed to watch inside on six different decks, while the rest were supposed to be outside, watching on giant monitors.

Fans say that was never made clear to them.

The Cowboys lost their home opener to the New York Giants 33-31.
