Madonna’s Lawsuit Dismissed Against Concertgoers Claiming Early Start Time as Reason for Legal Action

Madonna is not letting a lawsuit get in her way. The pop star’s legal team recently filed a motion to dismiss a class-action lawsuit brought by fans after her New York City “Celebration” tour concerts began late. The lawsuit, filed in January, claimed that fans were misled by the advertised start times and had to “get up early to go to work” the next day. However, Madonna’s lawyers argued that this is not a valid reason for a lawsuit, as it does not constitute legal “injury.”

The lawsuit was submitted by concertgoers Michael Fellows and Jonathan Hadden after Madonna’s December 2023 concerts at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center started hours later than advertised. They claimed that her tardiness amounted to false advertising, negligent misrepresentation, and unfair trade practices. However, Madonna’s legal team maintained that the concert start times were not unreasonable and that fans received what they paid for.

The legal filing emphasized that nowhere in the advertisement did it promise Madonna would take the stage at 8:30 p.m., and that it is common for major arena concerts to have opening acts before the headline act performs. The lawyers also pointed out that the lawsuit did not allege that Madonna’s performance was subpar or that fans left before the show ended.

Madonna’s representatives have not yet commented on the lawsuit. Many fans expressed disappointment and demanded refunds on social media after the shows ran late. Some even described the singer as “disrespectful” for her tardiness. However, other fans defended Madonna, highlighting the challenges she faced, including a serious bacterial infection that led to the postponement of her tour.

The “Celebration” tour has been eventful, with Madonna making headlines for various reasons, including an on-stage fall in Seattle and a controversial incident with a wheelchair-bound concertgoer in Los Angeles. Despite these challenges, Madonna has continued to perform and express gratitude for being able to do so after her health scare.

In conclusion, Madonna’s legal team is pushing back against the lawsuit filed by concertgoers, arguing that the fans’ claim of having to wake up early for work is not a valid reason for legal action. The ongoing legal battle adds another layer to the pop star’s eventful “Celebration” tour, which has been marked by both controversy and resilience in the face of adversity.
