Over the weekend, over 25,000 people flocked to Abu Dhabi to see a living legend in the flesh. Eminem fans travelled, with some even flying overseas for the event. However according to reports, things started going awry, with thousands of ticket-owners being denied entry due to overcrowding.
The event was organized by FLASH Entertainment who took to their Twitter account to post a warning to attendees.
“Some Eminem fans experienced a delayed entrance to this evening’s concert at du Arena, which was to ensure the health and safety of fans entering the venue. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.”

“People without tickets were queuing and attempting to jump fences, which security dealt with immediately,” FLASH Entertainment said in a statement to Gulf News tabloid! “Eminem delayed his performance to make sure that fans could get inside the venue. Once all fans were inside, the concert began and we hope all enjoyed the atmosphere of Eminem live in the Capital. “Flash Entertainment’s priority at every live event is the health, safety and wellbeing of fans, staff and artists, and therefore took the necessary measures to avoid harm.
“Gates opened to the venue as planned, but slower entry was experienced to complete security checks and ensure safe entry of fans. We apologise to all fans who experienced delayed entry.”
Understandably, fans were pretty upset
You are an embarrashment, and should NEVER be allowed to hold venues like this ever again.

No consideration for the H+S of those outside trying to get in, we were crushed while people started pushing barricades down and jumping over the fences. We ended up leaving after 3 hours of queuing to hydrate as we started feeling unwell standing in the heat.

Worst experience ever! There needed to be more personal for this event! This was by far the worst experience ever for a concert and we have been to many! We never made it in and lost 900dhs because of that. We will never go to an event in Du Arena ever again!

Its bad that there were people who were going in without tickets for free because there was no tickets getting scanned while the people who had a ticket was stuck waiting to get in missed out i hope that they will be refunded i feel really sorry for them
