This is what happens when you tell a mob of fans who spend the night at your box office over some tickets that they’ve wasted their time. From That Grape Juice:

After spending the night outside the Manchester Arena Box Office, the ‘Be With You’ singer’s fans were hoping to be the first to purchase the tickets come 9.30 am the following morning.

Unfortunately for them, an announcement from the Box Office revealed that it would not be opening due to health and safety reasons and that-according to some fans-is due to the events of the night before.

Billing it the scariest night of their lives, members of the performers ‘Beyhive’ revealed that large groups of mens began to barge through the cue armed with bottles- ordering them to hand over their tickets once they had purchased them. This, causing a mad rush as fans lower down in the cue attempted to push forward, which saw a stampede ensue.

“I stayed in the tunnel outside the arena to avoid being crushed when all hell broke loose at about 5am. Men were ripping open fire doors that were locked. Once opened, they fought to get through one side of a double door. Children were getting crushed and screaming. It was horrible. By far the worst night of my life.”
