Madonna has copped a £135,000 fine ($AUD300,000) for going overtime at her London gig.
The September 11 show at Wembley Stadium was due to finish at 10:30pm but Madonna didn’t finish until 11:10pm on account that she started more than half an hour late.
Because of the amount of production involved in a Madonna show, it is not like she can just drop a few songs. Once the go button is flicked at the start of the show, Madonna’s job is to basically keep up with the scenery behind her.
The late start caused traffic chaos after the show with many fans stranded because they had missed public transport.
The concert was criticised for poor sound, although that has been denied by Madonna’s peeps.
90,000 people attended the Madonna concert at Wembley that evening. Many fans found that public transport had finished by the time they reached the station leaving them stranded.
The European leg of the Sticky and Sweet tour ended in Athens on Saturday (September 27).
The North American tour will start this Saturday night (October 4) at the Izod Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
The South American leg will begin in Buenos Aires on December 3.
