Madonna doesn't have to follow the rules? Her Sticky & Sweet London appearance is being fined for going past curfew. Huh?
$249,750.00 is the fine she received for going over her concert time by 40 minutes. Holy crap, that's $6243.00 per minute. She was supposed to kick the show off at 8:30 pm but didn't start until 9:10. This means that the show was supposed to end at 10:30 pm, curfew, however it ended at 11:10pm. "Her people knew about the possible implications for going over the curfew but this is a pretty hefty fine, even for Madonna."
Ooh, I would have been so irritated if I was there. I hate it when musicians think that the can be late. I paid good money for a ticket, I want them to be on time and to do their job. Entertain me.
I think the fine is justified, a little excessive, but still justified, they can chalk it up to a lesson learned.
