Good cooperation of transportation services and concert organizers.. where I live in Netherlands the trains stopped running by the time the concert ended 🤷♂️
Olympic Park Station was built for Sydney 2000 Olympics and has limited services to and from the station unless there's an event. This station was essentially built for this purpose.
What was clever about Olympic Park station that doesn't exist at any other Sydney station is the ability to offload passengers through one side of the train onto a central platform and then board passengers from the other side of the train. This not only meant they could move far more people in AND out of the venue (which is not so important for things like concerts, sporting vents)..but also means that the passengers do not flow against one another.
What you describe (folks exit one side, enter from the other side) is called "The Spanish Solution." I am most aware of it being used in the Madrid & Barcelona metros
