New Jersey State Police blocking gates outside of a major hip-hop concert at MetLife Stadium had bottles thrown at them by angry people in the crowd who were trying to get inside – some without tickets – and they later used tear gas to try to disperse them, according to officials. The chaos erupted at the Hot97Summer Jam Concert, which was headlined by Kendrick Lamar, Trey Songz, Big Sean and Chris Brown.

The crowds became upset when the gates were closed and blocked off by police in riot gear. After police used tear gas, people scattered and there were several arrests. The number of arrests is still not known. There were many outbursts of conflict as State Police tried to keep the stadium peaceful and concert goers grew increasingly frustrated and angry, especially those with legitimate tickets.

Eyewitness News spoke with several concertgoers a paid a lot of money only to wait outside the gate all night and never be allowed inside to see artists like Chris Brown. Niemi Hendrix said he spent more than $1,000 to be a part of the concert.

He came at 3 p.m. for tailgating which was fine, but when he tried to get inside at 8 PM that’s when he was denied. Hot 97 said on Twitter Sunday night that for those whose Summer Jam tickets were not scanned, refunds will be offered at point of purchase.
