Witnesses to Brixton concert crush say many fans outside had tickets

One concertgoer claims security guards ‘kettled’ fans into a confined space outside Asake gig

Witnesses to the deadly crush outside the O2 Academy Brixton last Thursday have insisted many fans in the crowd outside had tickets, rejecting reports of a ticketless mob storming the venue.

After the death of 33-year-old Rebecca Ikumelo was announced on Saturday, fans criticised the security and organisation at the event.
