What happened at AR Rahman concert: 50,000 people came, permission was for 25,000 | 10 points

Hindustan Times  

As a police probe has begun on musician AR Rahman's September 10 concert in Chennai following allegations of chaos, stampede-like situation, molestation, it has now come to the fore that the organisers probably oversold thousands of tickets, much beyond the capacity of the place. While the venue could host around 20,000 to 25,000 people and that was the footfall expected, around 50,000 people turned up for the concert on Sunday. AR Rahman said 'let me be the sacrificial goat this time' after several complaints poured in against his Sunday concert in Chennai. In an Instagram post, Rahman wrote: "some people call me G.O.A.T …………let me be the sacrificial goat this time for all of us to wake up.let Chennai’s live art flourish with a world class infrastructure, increase in tourism, efficient crowd management, traffic management, refining audiences to follow rules.creating a safe and surreal experience for children and women.Triggering a cultural renaissance at Chennai celebrating our deserving, illuminated local and international talent."
