Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Should I get a lawyer?

I was arrested back in August for trespassing at a rock concert. The story was I was in the VIP area and left my pass on the table. I saw my friend and left the VIP area to grab him. He, apparently, did not have a VIP pass on him and was being escorted out for trying to sneak into the VIP area. Being that I did not have my pass on me, they associated me with him and (very forcefully) threw me out, even after I tried to explain the situation. As expected, I became very agitated and was then taken by my wrist from the security guard. I pulled my wrist away and was further tazered by police who were passing by. I asked the officers why I was being tazered and they did not respond. They only walked away. The security guard told me ''that--name removed--what I get'' for not listening to him. I was then brought to the security tent and asked to leave the premises. I left, bought another ticket from a scalper and came back in. I was spotted trying to get back to my seat in the VIP section and was escorted to the police tent and arrested. I was forced to sit on a bus with criminals who were arrested for violent acts. My question is, being that I was thrown out with a paid admission, can I now press charges?
