Unlikely that anyone "bought" tickets as the tickets to these events are not sold.
This is being reported in multiple outlets, and, the 20,000 number came from the Trump camp.
Again, the venue seats 1400.
Now, given Trump's inclinations towards hyperbole, it certainly could be another of his exaggerations, but, these numbers are coming from his campaign.
As the OP notes, why would the campaign knowingly create such a potentially dangerous situation?
Totally irresponsible, IMHO.
How is it dangerous?
This isn't exactly a bunch of European soccer fans that paid for tickets.
“Their attitude is, what happens outside the venue is someone else’s responsibility,” [Mayor] Weinberger said of Trump’s campaign.
Do you have a link where the Trump campaign said that? This is what I found: Burlington raises concerns over Trump event As you know, Trump has moved rallies twice because the crowds were so much larger than anyone could have anticipated. Right?

How sad that people would be so bitter as to get tickets to try to leave empty seats, are they like 8 years old or what? Hey, maybe that is what happens with Hillary that only a handful people show up and then with Bill too.
Wasn't that where Bernie Sanders was once elected mayor? Maybe that has a lot of do with the comments made about Trump? Too many sour grapes out there.
trump's campaign issued 20,000 tickets and expect 6,500 to attend a venue with a max capacity of 1,400. the majority of the work that i do is in event promotion, i've sat in meetings with city/fire/police officials organizing large events. if i pulled some stunt like this i would be, without a doubt, shut down and chewed a new one immediately. not to mention the bizarre fact that the trump campaign is expecting to screw-over 5,100 of their supporters.
Reminds me of that great ole Political Movie, "Mr Smith Goes to Washington"
Smith, holding to Floor for over a solid day, pleading his case to America, very emotionally looks at the Crowd gathered, and says Somebody will hear me...somebody...." and then passes out on the floor.
Somebody is hearing Mr Trump too.."as he heads to Washington !!
I"m sure the Trump people are hoping for thousands of people lined up outside the packed house screaming to get in. This will get more media coverage than the actual event going on inside. It's all on purpose. Later the Trump people will blame the city of Burlington saying they tried to change the venue but the democrat officials wouldn't let them.
these Trump people are smart.........evil through and through..........but smart.
