New York City men Michael Fellows and Jonathan Hadden bought tickets for Madonna’s show last month. It was due to begin at 8.30pm, but Madonna did not take to the stage until after 10.45pm.

Their lawsuit states they were “confronted with limited public transportation, limited ride-sharing, and/or increased public and private transportation costs” by the time the show finished at 1am.

They are suing Madonna, Live Nation and venue Barclays Center for “unconscionable, unfair, and/or deceptive trade practices” which amounted to breach of contract.

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