Some speculation that security was tight on the way in (bag checks etc.) but as it was over, they'd just opened the doors.

They do this at lots of gigs in my experience, especially ones where it's likely to be parents coming in to pick up their kids..

Police says it happened in a public space outside of the venue.
Coat checks etc would be irrelevant in that case. -
The ticket and bag checks are usually set up between the box-office/entrance hall and the auditorium, so members of the public can access the merch tables and if the weather changes, you don't have people queuing outside.
As with airports, moving the security checks further out just moves the bottleneck out into a space where the queueing customers would actually be more vulnerable.

jesus. I just saw this now. FML.
Of all the things to target, a fucking kids concert. Lots being posted about how shit the security was, probably because 'it's just parents and kids' so there will be no trouble.
Disgusting disgusting people that can do this to others.
