I wasn't there, bou can't blame an event organizer for not opening more doors to get in when there aren't enough people to watch those entrances or the facilities are set up in a way where it simply won't make sense. No matter what they changed about the door situation, everyone is still going to the same place.

This whole thing comes down to teaching patience and respect. If people wait their turn and allow others to get through a door when they are ready, there rarely is a problem and bottlenecks don't cause problems. The result is smooth traffic flow. It's the same theory that seems to work perfectly well on freeways until that one person feels that they can cut in line forcing everyone to stomp on the brakes and slowing all those behind them to stop. If everyone walks at the same speed and is courteous the process is much faster.

Oh, and doors have to open out from a commercial building. Fire codes don't like people to be trapped inside a building when there is a rush to get out (i.e. a fire). There very rarely is a problem with people rushing to get into a building. That brings up another scary thought, what if someone at or near the door had fallen? How many feel that the runners would have stopped to help that person up and make others aware? I don't even want to think of what could have happened from the descriptions I've heard here...
