Shocking isn't it. Thankfully Martyn's Law will address this but it's taking a ridiculous amount of time to go through.

At the time, I don’t believe you needed tickets or pass through security to enter the arena. You only had to show tickets when you went to go to your seats. I might be wrong, but I saw a concert there before the bombing and distinctly remember not showing my ticket to get into the arena (which even at the time I found a little strange).

The bomb was in a lobby area right outside the arena itself where it was linked to Victoria train station, so before any security points. Obviously the layout has been totally rethought now and this entrance is no longer in use in the same way, now instead being a security checkpoint outside the building.
