On so many levels, the advent of COVID-19 and the tragedy at Astroworld music festival drastically altered the event security landscape. After the Astroworld tragedy, event security experts saw that the rampant gate-crashing could become an indication of what was to come.

This is why Coachella spent a lot of money installing a large solid fence with cement underground, according to Cory Meredith, the President of Allied Universal Event Services.
