She said: “I didn't realise what had happened then people started patting me. My shirt was in flames and a man ripped it off.
"People were shouting, 'She's on fire'."
In a statement, Fly DSA Arena spokesman Dominic Stokes: “The irresponsible behaviour of the concert goer who threw the flare along with any other people within their party who were aware of the possibility of their actions cannot be condoned and they should be held accountable for their actions."
He said Ms Andrew and Mr Mutton were both seen at the venue by an on-duty paramedic and advised to go to hospital.
The Arena said it had contacted them through social media to speak with them directly.
Arena staff offered a taxi but in the end Mr Mutton drove to hospital.
South Yorkshire Police is investigating the incident.
