Madonna fires back at concert lawsuit, claims 'no Madonna fan' would expect her to take stage at ticketed time

Madonna is seeking to dismiss a lawsuit that alleges fans were deceived by the Material Girl when she took the stage two hours late at a Brooklyn concert.

"Plaintiffs speculate that ticketholders who left the venue after 1 a.m. might have had trouble getting a ride home or might have needed to wake up early the next day for work," Madonna’s dismissal motion stated. "That is not a cognizable injury."  A "reasonable concertgoer would understand that the venue’s doors will open at or before the ticketed time, one or more opening acts may perform while attendees arrive and make their way to their seats and before the headline act takes the stage." 

Two concertgoers, Michael Fellows and Jonathan Hadden, filed the class-action lawsuit in January, arguing the "defendants failed to provide any notice to the ticketholders that the Concerts would start much later than the start time printed on the ticket and as advertised, which resulted in the ticketholders waiting for hours for the Concerts to begin at the Venue.
