LONDON — The start of Arsenal’s opening Premier League game against Nottingham Forest was delayed by 30 minutes on Saturday after a problem with the turnstiles at Emirates Stadium left thousands of fans unable to get in on time.
The kickoff had been scheduled for 12:30 p.m. local time but was pushed back because of an apparent issue with the club’s new digital ticketing system. TV footage showed thousands of fans still waiting outside the Emirates 10 minutes before the scheduled kickoff, with only a sparse crowd inside the 60,000-seat stadium.
The turnstiles were eventually able to open and the stadium was full by the time the game started at 1 p.m. local time .The Associated Press is an independent global news organization dedicated to factual reporting.
