TAMPA, Fla. (CelebrityAccess) Dave Bautista, former professional wrestler also known as Drax in the “Guardians of the Galaxy” franchise, fired off some angry tweets Saturday night after not getting into a Journey concert at Tampa, Fla.’s Amalie Arena.
Bautista is apparently a good friend of Journey singer Arnel Pineda and brought his wife and friends to the show, in his home town, but had some kind of ticketing issue.
“Amalie Arena, you guys need to do something with Karen at the suites entrance,” Bautista tweeted. “What a rude woman! But I guess if that’s the way you treat people…. just thought you were better than that! Maybe not. Great to be treated like s— in my hometown. Thanks.”
@AmalieArena you guys need to do something with Karen at the suites entrance. What a rude woman! But I guess if that’s the way you treat people…. just thought you were better than that! Maybe not. Great to be treated like shit in my home town. Thanks

He continued to tweet similar messages throughout the night with Amalie Arena requesting the former WWE Champion to PM them and provide more information, and Pineda also asked for details of the situation.
“We had an issue with our tickets and one of the Amalie Arena employees was pretty rude to us,” Bautista wrote. “All good brother. Next time! I just wanted to see you kill it. But as long as your singing, I’ll be coming to see you sing. Love you dude! Safe travels and good health.”
@arnelpineda sorry I’m missing your performance brother. @AmalieArena doesn’t know how to treat people! I’ll catch you down the road. Safe travels dude🤟🏼❤
