By the end of the concert, reports had already been released on the state of the concert attendees and parents were rushing to pick up their children. Amid the chaos left in the wake of the gig, concert promoter Live Nation released the following statement: “released a statement saying, "While this is still a developing situation, based on early reports from the venue it appears the majority of the transports were people outside the venue who were too impaired to be allowed inside the venue and access to the concert.
