Say you arrive early to be sure to get in for a very popular event.
Do you mostly exult that you are sure to get in or do you feel kind of sorry for the late-comers who surely aren't going to get in to this very popular event?
Then, say, the numerous late-comers who are upset they aren't going to get into this very popular event start a riot and just prevent the event from even happening.
Do you say: "well, they were too upset to accept a 'loss'" or are you upset they just prevented the event from happening?

If there was an event that I really wanted to go to I would try and get there early. I'd go with the knowledge that there's usually only a limited amounts of spaces/seats or whatever at a popular event. I wouldn't exult. I wouldn't feel much of anything other than hopeful anticipation that I may get in. If I got in then I'd feel glad and relieved that I got in. I may feel a bit sorry for the latecomers that didn't get in, but that feeling would be very fleeting because I likely wouldn't know these people, and unless I were to engage in conversation with anyone, and depending on the circumstances for being late, I'm not going to feel sorry for anyone.
If there was a riot which resulted in the event being cancelled I'd be feeling quite angry more than anything.
