First of all early birds need to stay home. It's all their fault. Job work nexy day blah blah. That's their excuse.

She didn't beg them to come see her in spite of their work days. They stayed and saw it. It's all their responsibility. 

I cant at All those pressed trump supporters according to the Facebook. 

They don't even know how to plan their work properly.

If they had to get up that early, why did they even join the celebration party on weekdays then??? Especially When she is not even supporting trump? 

 

They have no excuse.

Their lawsuit fee is also their outcome.

 

Also start time never said she would start that time. She has a supporting act. That necessarily means she would be on at 8 30?

How naive 

 

Lmao.

Exactly. Also, being members of the gay community I’m sure we can all clearly identify exactly what type of gay they are and it’s not a variant the wider gay community considers to be classy.

Did anywhere specify that MADONNA HERSELF would start at 8:30? Or did it say "the show starts at 8:30", which means one or two openers?

 

Because in that case people just can't read and it's their own fault

Technically that is false advertising. They are there and prepared for Madonna to start at 8, not the openers. They planned sleeping and transportation around that as well.

 

If she wants to start at 10, why not just schedule that as the official showtime? It doesn’t make sense.

[Weld_E]

Why is she late for every single show? What is her reason or excuse? Thousands of people plan ahead and must get on with their lives after the show. She might be able to sleep in the following day and repeat the cycle but the average person who PAID to attend her show has stuff to do. It is very disrespectful and out of touch for her to do this, and given that it’s a pattern with her, she has no excuse.

[spiritboy]

If start time says 8:30, then people would expect the show to start at 9pm or 9:30pm at latest. People would’ve enjoyed the whole show and would be able return with public transportation. Or they could just say Madonna will be on stage at 10 pm, so that people can make their plan accordingly.

There is no excuse. She just wants to start late, that’s it. There is really no defending it unless you are a blind stan. 

[Chris]

Queen of being sued for lateness.

 

[Kimi]

Good, that kind of behavior is unacceptable. Y’all treat those celebrities better than y’all would treat your own mother or a partner. Insane what pop culture and parasocial relationships are doing to yall brains.

I have been to over 100 concerts, and Madonna is the only one that comes on at times like 10:45 PM. There’s a difference between being 30-45 mins late and what she does. It’s absurd and ruins the energy in the venue every single time. I have yet to see a show of her’s that started this late and didn’t have pockets of empty seats throughout the arena by the last few songs.

 

Why she does this is beyond me, given so many people I know won’t see her again due to the late starts despite how good they think she was, but clearly it’s what she wants.

 

It’s extremely disappointing as a huge fan, as her shows would be so much more fun if the audience wasn’t half asleep by the time she came on.

Finally a reasonable stan

[Shaner69]

Honestly they cant sue over this. 

 

It's funny that Madonna is  usually late but when I went to her Rebel heart concert in Edmonton I was running late and she started 8 minutes early lol. 

[ICLDXU4HS]

Obviously there’s nothing wrong with getting the girls ever so slightly shook and perhaps set a precedence to be more mindful of people’s time in the future. Disagreeing with that is just kind of strange, contrarian stan ****.

 

And now… back to the ***** who had to downvote a lot of posts of mine in random threads… Ayo, @Dante Silva, wus gewd? Can’t say I’m surprised you‘re the same person that isn’t embarrassed to admit they have enough time on their hands to block up to 50 people on Grindr every day.

Huh? I personally expect concerts to be finished by 10:30/11, which they normally are. Honestly thank god we have curfews in the UK so if an artist is late they just get cut off. People shouldn't have to take a whole day off work to recover from a 2 hour concert

Well your opinion is debunked as the rest of the world doesn't have curfews like the UK. Here's the thing - it's common knowledge that she starts late so why does everyone act so surprised tour after tour when it's warned over and over through media? Also, how hard is it to plan accordingly? Even if I go see a concert that ends at 11pm, I know I won't be home till the middle of the night so I would plan on being late or missing work the next day. It's common sense. 

 

And if we truly want to be honest, her opening DJ starts at showtime and she comes on stage shortly after around 10ish. That's hardly making people wait hours upon hours. 

[truthteller]

there's always fans suing her for her tour since forever 

[loveisdead9582]

The problem is that she isn’t always late. Sometimes she is on time. Sometimes she’s hours late. You can’t plan on it one way or the other. 
 

I love Madonna and will always support her but being late without any sort of heads up does sometimes screw people over. That said, if you’re going to a concert, you should probably plan on not having much to do the next day (at least early on in the day). Madonna is also consistently late so factoring that into ticket purchases should have been a thought. Do I think she should do something for the customers if she starts late? Sure. Do I think it’s worth a massive lawsuit? Absolutely not.

I am not the first homosexual who Madonna ever taught to not be shameful for loving cock!
 

If you have not taken Madonna’s teachings on board throughout your life and instead believe a love of cock is something to be “embarrassed” or shameful about, then perhaps you should join the priesthood.

 

Re: the other, I was merely keeping count and following your lead x

[dabunique]

She’s late. Get over it. Plan accordingly. 
 

im seeing her in Tampa and Miami i have dat whole week off. I have my transportation set. 
 

seriously if this is too much for u, don’t go. No one is forcing u to spend ur hard earned money on her 

 

I’ve known for a decade she’s not gonna be on time. This isn’t something new for her 

 

I respect my fellow stans if they’re mad about it but trash people who would never go see her in concert, their  opinions don’t mean $h!t to me 

[Lagerfeld]

I've got work tomorrow. Have some respect, Medonner.

[livelikemusic]

Granted, [most] know she goes on late, but still... it's my view they DO have a case.

This is silly. Aren't most shows always a little late though?

 

Yeah two hours might be pushing it but come on

A little late? Two-hours is more than a little late.

It's less about that and more about transportation, etc. Sure, they could and should have planned to possibly not work the next day but they may not have had a choice, etc. But public transport seems to be an issue here, as well.

Agreed. I think it’s a power move and she enjoys making people wait that long.

I know when I went to see P!nk it was running a bit behind due to [some] tech issues with Pat Benatar's set and P!nk's own set and, because of time, P!nk cut out a few songs from her set to fit into a specific time she had to stop by.

yall suing for the uber ride home?

I mean we have plans Miss Madge, those Sniffie dates aren’t going to wait for us!!!

Just hook up in the bathroom preshow. Out of curiosity, I checked to see if the wh*res had a hook up spot during Renaissance tour and level three bathroom had a jerk off and watch meet up. I hope no innocent religious black women walked into that, knowing that there were gender neutral bathrooms. I get secondhand embarrassment just thinking of an innocent straight woman walking into a bathroom of a bunch of horny gay men 

[Fleahive]

So we can sue people for being late to work now?

[1989]

While I’m not really sure if suing her is the correct approach (because times listed are when opening acts start, not the main act), I do hope more fans continue to push back and voice their displeasure on her being so late. 
 

It’s straight up disrespectful to the people that are spending their money to come see you (and thus putting money into your pocket). There’s absolutely no reason for an artist to be more than, say, 20 minutes late (barring weather during outside shows, obviously).
