Madonna lawyers ask to dismiss lawsuit over late concert, say 'no Madonna fan' would expect show to start on time

Madonna's legal team asked for lawsuit dismissal related to late 'Celebration' concert start time because 'no Madonna fan' would expect her to start at the printed ticket time.

After two New York City men sued Madonna, touring company Live Nation, and Brooklyn's Barclays Center arena after the pop icon went on stage roughly two hours after the 8:30 p.m. start time printed on tickets, the singer's legal team has asked the court to dismiss the case. The initial suit accused Madonna, Live Nation, and the venue of "unconscionable, unfair, and/or deceptive trade practices" by listing 8:30 p.m. as the concert's start time. The documents also included alleged screenshots from Facebook that appeared to show Hadden praising the tour and indicating that he'd attended multiple Madonna concerts in the past.
