MADONNA FINED

Madonna has been fined $249,750.

source

Pop superstar MADONNA has been fined $249,750 (GBP135,000) by Wembley Stadium officials for breaking the venue's curfew during the London stop of her Sticky + Sweet world tour earlier this month (Sep08).

The Material Girl's show overran the 10.30pm curfew by 40 minutes when she played there on 11 September - her only date in the U.K.

And she has now been charged $92,500 (GBP50,000) for every 15 minutes she overstayed her welcome.

A Wembley Stadium source says, "The concert was meant to start at 8.30pm but Madonna didn't come on stage until 9.10pm. The gig ended at 11.10pm so she was quite a bit over.

"Her people knew about the possible implications for going over the curfew but this is a pretty hefty fine, even for Madonna."

	why is a concert curfew so hard to understand? all the venues i know of have to end early so as to not piss off the neighbours (Reply to this) (Thread)(Expand)

	boyracer1211 2008-09-28 04:31 pm UTC (link)
	Many places do have a curfew, but 10:30 is the earliest one I know of. Outdoor venues usually even go later than that! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	How is it retarded to have a noise level curfew? People do actually live within hearing distance of that stadium and they are legally entitled to a reasonable level of quietness at night. Madonna is not more important than all of those people. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)(Expand)

	i think it has something to do with the trains... like the trains stop operating after a certain time so the curfew is so that people get on the train on time and are able to get home. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)(Expand)
