Madonna has clapped back at the recent class action lawsuit filed on behalf of dissatisfied fans who were upset that her concerts started later than scheduled. The pop star’s lawyers filed a motion Wednesday urging the federal judge to dismiss the case, claiming that having “trouble getting a ride home” or needing “to wake up early the next day for work” are not cognizable injuries, Billboard reports.
The lawsuit centers around three January performances that took place in New York. Following the concerts, ticket buyers Michael Fellows and Jonathan Hadden filed a complain in Brooklyn federal court, claiming that Madonna breached her contract with concert goers, violated New York state laws, and engaged in false advertising by starting her performance more than two hours later than scheduled. The suit also named Live Nation and Barclays Center, where the shows took place, as defendants.

Madonna’s management and her tour producers have responded to a recent lawsuit filed by two New York City men who weren’t happy that one of the shows for her Celebration tour began roughly two hours after the start time listed on their tickets.
Today, Team Madonna fired back.
“The shows opened in North America at Barclays in Brooklyn as planned, with the exception of a technical issue Dec. 13 during soundcheck,” tour company Live Nation and Madonna’s management said in a statement. “This caused a delay that was well documented in press reports at the time. We intend to defend this case vigorously.”
The Dec. 14 performance also began late, starting after 10:00 p.m. local time after an announced start time of 8:30 p.m.
Both shows occurred two months after the Celebration Tour kicked off in Europe. An October date in London also started late.

The lawsuit deemed the late start “unconscionable, unfair, and/or deceptive trade practices.” Live Nation and Barclays Center were also named in the lawsuit.

Two Madonna fans have filed a lawsuit against the pop star for starting her New York gig more than two hours late.
Michael Fellows and Jonathan Hadden attended Madonna’s concert at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn in December. They accused her of “demonstrated flippant difficulty in ensuring a timely or complete performance” and that the 8:30 p.m. start time was “optimistic speculation.” The concert began around 10:45 p.m., they claimed.
The duo said that due to the concert being on a weekday, starting and finishing the performance late would be an issue for concert-goers. “Many ticketholders who attended concerts on a weeknight had to get up early to go to work and/or take care of their family responsibilities the next day,” the document said.
They also named the Barclays Center and Live Nation in the lawsuit.

Madonna is facing a lawsuit after she allegedly delayed the starting time of three concerts in New York City and caused legal harm to fans who “had to get up early to go to work.”
Per Billboard, ticket buyers Michael Fellows and Jonathan Hadden filed a complaint in Brooklyn federal court on Wednesday (January 17th), claiming that Madonna had breached her contract with concertgoers and violated New York state laws by taking the stage more than two hours later than the scheduled 8:30 p.m. starting times.
The shows took place at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center in December after being rescheduled from July due to Madonna’s hospitalization for a bacterial infection in June. In addition to Madonna, the lawsuit names Live Nation and Barclays Center as defendants.
“Defendants’ actions constitute not just a breach of their contracts… but also a wanton exercise in false advertising, negligent misrepresentation, and unfair and deceptive trade practices,...
