ABC News
Two concertgoers are suing Madonna, Live Nation and Barclays Center for "unconscionable, unfair, and/or deceptive trade practices."
Live Nation and Madonna's management have responded to a lawsuit filed against the singer for starting a show late.
In a joint statement, Live Nation and Madonna's Management said that the delay during her Dec. 13 "Celebration" tour concert at Barclays Center was due to a technical issue.
"Madonna's just completed, sold out 2023 Celebration Tour in Europe received rave reviews," according to the statement. "The shows opened in North America at Barclays in Brooklyn as planned, with the exception of a technical issue December 13th during soundcheck. This caused a delay that was well documented in press reports at the time."
The "Material Girl" singer is being sued by concertgoers Michael Fellows of Brooklyn and Jonathan Hadden of the Bronx for starting her show late because they had to get up early the next day.
