While the audience inside sang along to the new song 'Zbog tebe', outside the stadium there was organizational collapse, climbing over fences, and forced entry through the gates.
Dino Merlin's concert at Sarajevo's Koševo Stadium, held on July 31, 2026, will be remembered for its incredible contrast. While tens of thousands of people inside the stadium enthusiastically welcomed the first live performance of the new song "Zbog tebe," complete chaos reigned outside the entrances. According to fans, due to ticket sales significantly exceeding capacity, thousands of people with valid tickets were unable to enter the concert.
The atmosphere at the concert itself was electric. As reported by Klix.ba, the audience welcomed the new song "Zbog tebe," released just two weeks earlier on July 17, 2026, as if it were a long-standing hit. Tens of thousands of voices sang every verse in unison with Merlin, turning the stadium into a massive choir. The thunderous applause after the final notes confirmed that the song has already found a special place among his greatest hits.
However, the scene outside the stadium was diametrically opposite. Net.hr reports on a complete organizational collapse and scandal, citing Blic's coverage. Thousands of outraged attendees were left outside the entrances, which quickly escalated into anger and chaos. The crowd began hurling insults and accusations at the organizers, claiming that far more tickets had been sold than the stadium could accommodate.
Dramatic footage posted by the Instagram page "Crna hronika BH" spread rapidly across social media. The videos, captured by photographer Armin Durgut (PIXSELL), show a crowd of desperate people mass-climbing over the stadium's high concrete fences in a desperate attempt to reach the concert. Amid the general chaos, a group of young men even managed to forcefully break through one of the security entrances and rush into the stadium.
As of August 1, 2026, the concert organizers had not issued any official statement or commented on the allegations of overcrowding and the reasons why a large number of ticket holders were denied entry.
