It descended into bedlam at du Arena last night, during the Yasalam after-race concert for The Weeknd, with organisers closing gates, and several fights breaking out.<\/p>\n
Many were left locked out of the arena, after organisers made the decision to close the gates for safety reasons, citing that many concert-goers arrived at the same time, causing difficulties.<\/p>\n
People took to social media to show the chaos, with some stuck locked in and some locked out – and others giving up and leaving the venue.<\/p>\n
Organiser, Flash Entertainment released a statement on the matter, that the decision to close the gates was for the safety of those within the venue.<\/p>\n
