Two NYC men Michael Fellows and Jonathan Hadden filed the lawsuit on Wednesday, January 17 in Brooklyn federal court, claiming that 'Madonna had demonstrated flippant difficulty in ensuring a timely or complete performance.'

AceShowbiz - Madonna has been dragged to court by her disappointed fans. According to reports, the "Material Girl" songstress has been sued by two New York City men for starting her show two hours late at Barclays Center.

Michael Fellows and Jonathan Hadden filed the lawsuit on Wednesday, January 17 in Brooklyn federal court. In the complaint, the men accused the 65-year-old star, Live Nation and the arena of "unconscionable, unfair, and/or deceptive trade practices" for offering tickets to the December 13 "Celebration Tour" with an 8:30 P.M. start time, only for the singer to take the stage sometime after 10:30 P.M.

The show reportedly let out at 1:00 A.M., leading the plaintiffs to be "confronted with limited public transportation, limited ride-sharing, and/or increased public and private transportation costs.". In addition, they "had to get up early to go to work and/or take care of their family responsibilities the next day."

"Madonna had demonstrated flippant difficulty in ensuring a timely or complete performance," the lawsuit stated. "And Defendants were aware that any statement as to a start time for a show constituted, at best, optimistic speculation."

Madonna is no stranger to leaving fans upset with her tardiness. Back in 2019, a fan named Nate Hollander filed a similar lawsuit against her and Live Nation for selling a ticket to the "Madame X" tour show at Fillmore Miami Beach with an 8:30 P.M. start time, only for her to show up at 10.30 P.M.

Nate claimed there was no refund and he couldn't resell the ticket since it "suffered an extreme loss of value." Madonna implicitly addressed the 2019 suit at her Las Vegas show that same year, telling the crowd, "There's something that you all need to understand. And that is, that a queen is never late."
