A couple of concert attendees are reportedly suing Madonna over her alleged tardiness during her Celebration Tour. The lawsuit claims that Madonna’s concert at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, scheduled to start at 8:30 PM on December 13, 2023, didn’t begin until 10:30 PM, resulting in a 120-minute delay. The plaintiffs seek undisclosed damages, alleging “false advertising, negligent misrepresentation, and unfair and deceptive trade practices” concerning the advertised starting time on tickets and promotional materials.
The lawsuit suggests that Madonna’s late arrival on stage during subsequent concerts on December 14 and 16 is also part of the complaint. The plaintiffs argue that had they known the actual concert time, they “would not have paid for tickets.” Their reasons for being bothered by the delay are not explicitly stated, but the lawsuit mentions how the late hours made it challenging for attendees to find transportation and potentially disrupted their early-morning commitments such as work or family responsibilities.
The case unfolds as the plaintiffs seek financial restitution for what they perceive as a breach of the advertised schedule. The specific reasons behind their legal action remain unclear, prompting speculation about whether they have unique circumstances, such as early work commitments or other obligations, that make their time particularly valuable. The outcome of the case will likely provide more insight into the plaintiffs’ motivations and the legal implications of Madonna’s alleged tardiness.
