Yesterday, alcohol harm prevention officer Sergeant Ian Paulin, of Dunedin, said the level of intoxication at the event was "nothing outside of what has been seen in the past at large events of that nature".
Police were watching bar staff and no intoxicated patrons were seen being served at the event.
"There were people that had become intoxicated that were being removed by security," he said.
"That's exactly what we expect to see: for security — that's their job — to monitor intoxication and remove people who have drunk too much.
"From a police side, we made no arrests — that was pleasing," he said.
In Dunedin on Saturday night there was one arrest, but it was not for intoxication.
Paulin could not say whether the person arrested had attended the concert.
Several concert-goers told Otago Daily Times reporters there were intoxicated people inside the venue and those who were obviously drunk as they exited.
Dave Edwards, of Invercargill, wrote to the ODT after his night out in Dunedin was "ruined" by intoxicated patrons.
"Thanks a bunch for ruining our rare night out," he said.
