Madonna hits back after fans file lawsuit for late concert start, vows to ‘defend case vigorously’

While 30 minutes to maybe even an hour is an acceptable delay, some fans took issue when Madonna didn’t show up for her Dec. 13 and Dec. 14 shows until two hours after the advertised start time.

The Dec. 13 show at Barclays Center began around 10:30 p.m., exactly two hours after the 8:30 p.m. start time.

As a result of the delayed start, the shows didn’t end up approximately 1 a.m.

In mid-January two fans, Michael Fellows and Jonathan Hadden, filed a lawsuit accusing Madonna of deceptive practices.

In the lawsuit, the fans stated due to the late start they were “confronted with limited public transportation, limited ride-sharing, and/or increased public and private transportation costs.”

In addition, they, along with all the other fans, “had to get up early to go to work and/or take care of their family responsibilities the next day.”

While Fellows and Hadden spoke specifically about the Dec. 13 show, they also mentioned the star’s tardiness to her Dec. 14 and Dec. 16 shows.

While Madonna was criticized online for her late start, her team was busy crafting a statement.

“The shows opened in North America at Barclays in Brooklyn as planned, with the exception of a technical issue Dec. 13 during soundcheck. This caused a delay that was well documented in press reports at the time. We intend to defend this case vigorously.”

The day after her Dec. 13 show, a source told People, Madonna faced “issues during soundcheck that caused the schedule to get delayed by an hour.”

Even though there had been reports that the concert had been pushed back several hours, the source insisted it was only one hour.
