Diamond in the rough

As he walked inside the pitch, many took notice of him. Then he walked to some people and began to converse. It seemed as if he was making some sort of arrangements. 

The people whom he was talking to showed a greedy smile on their faces as they talked with him. Then he returned after conversing for a moment. 

Smiling, he returned as he said with a glee on his face, "It's done. You're up"

What do you mean it's done? 

Weren't they supposed to wait for their turn? 

Just how did he convince those people to let them skip the queue?

They were puzzled to hear. After all, just a moment ago, Carlos had said that all those people on the sidelines were waiting for their turn. So, how did he manage to convince them to let them jump the queue?

Seems like he had struck a deal with those bunches. Otherwise, how could they allow such special privileges to them?

Even so, why does it matter what deal he had struck with those people?
