However, it’s also an environment that has the potential to create a lot of problems because of the fact that people with different experiences and beliefs and levels of self-control are all going to be gathered together in one tight area. Problems may vary from confusion about where to go at the event to widescale violence like that which occurs in riot situations.

It is important to think ahead when planning and attending such events so that you can prevent problems. Make sure to follow all of the visual cues that are erected to keep the crowd safe. If you see a temporary fence, a jersey barrier or a set of crowd control ropes then you can see where it is safe to go or not go at the event. Following these cues will let you enjoy the fun while providing crowd control safety.
