Here's what I posted a few days ago in GD, about crowd control at concerts:

The very front usually just got there way early and held their place.
It's the people *just* behind them where the danger is. Either they got there early but just not early enough, to be in front, or they pushed their way up as far as they could. The front is where they *want* to be but couldn't and they're going to take that frustration out and be where the first great push is. The first line has the motivation to run straight in, but they don't go knocking people down. That happens when they have no choice, because there's a crowd pushing at their backs.
