Eurovision later this year has been criticised for having “unacceptable” congestion at a gig.The congestion happened at a sold-out Jamie Webster show back in November 2022, when crowds built up and some fans reportedly felt too ‘panicked’ to go inside. Following the reports, the venue has labelled the incident as an isolated event.At Webster’s show last winter, some fans complained that one area of the M&S Bank Arena felt unsafe after an electronic error meant that crowds began to gather in one part of the venue.According to an investigation, the area became crowded when a new bar payment system crashed.
This led to queues rapidly building up in the area, which then met the queues for the toilets and the main entrance.“At least 15-20 people walked away and were just not dealing with it,” said fan Paul Lang at the time (via BBC News). “More people were coming out, getting a bit worked up, panicked about it, and just said, ‘It’s just not worth it for our own safety.’”#JamieWebster not even checking tickets, crush bound to happen.
