Quote, Summary, Source Analysis, and Citation #3

Quotation: As the show proceeded inside without incident, trouble began brewing outside. Fans that weren’t fast enough to nab tickets formed an impromptu mob and attempted to invade the venue that was already filled to capacity, leading to extensive property damage and violence. One person was even stabbed in the hand. Think about that: is there a musical act that you would stab the hands of others to see?

Paraphrase: As the show was going trouble began outside the stadium. Fans that did not get to buy tickets in time planned to invade the filled stadium.
