Madonna Sued for Starting Concerts Late

Two Madonna concert-goers are suing the “Queen of Pop” for her “unfair” tardiness at a December concert in New York, a class-action federal lawsuit filed Thursday states.

The Brooklyn federal lawsuit filed by concertgoers Michael Fellows and Jonathan Hadden alleges that Madonna was over two hours late for her Dec. 13 Celebration Tour concert at the Barclays Center. The delayed concert, which was set to begin at 8:30 p.m., meant that ticket holders left the venue after 1:00 a.m. “with limited public transportation, limited ride-sharing, and/or increased public and private transportation costs at that late hour.”

Madonna was also tardy to her two subsequent concerts at the same venue and patrons were not provided any notice of the delay, despite their expensive tickets noting an 8:30 p.m. start time, the lawsuit states. Additionally, the suit notes that attendees of the weeknight show “had to get up early to go to work and/or take care of their family responsibilities the next day.”
