Madonna has clapped back at the recent class action lawsuit filed on behalf of dissatisfied fans who were upset that her concerts started later than scheduled. The pop star’s lawyers filed a motion Wednesday urging the federal judge to dismiss the case, claiming that having “trouble getting a ride home” or needing “to wake up early the next day for work” are not cognizable injuries, Billboard reports.
The lawsuit centers around three January performances that took place in New York. Following the concerts, ticket buyers Michael Fellows and Jonathan Hadden filed a complain in Brooklyn federal court, claiming that Madonna breached her contract with concert goers, violated New York state laws, and engaged in false advertising by starting her performance more than two hours later than scheduled. The suit also named Live Nation and Barclays Center, where the shows took place, as defendants.

Madonna’s management and her tour producers have responded to a recent lawsuit filed by two New York City men who weren’t happy that one of the shows for her Celebration tour began roughly two hours after the start time listed on their tickets.
Today, Team Madonna fired back.
“The shows opened in North America at Barclays in Brooklyn as planned, with the exception of a technical issue Dec. 13 during soundcheck,” tour company Live Nation and Madonna’s management said in a statement. “This caused a delay that was well documented in press reports at the time. We intend to defend this case vigorously.”
The Dec. 14 performance also began late, starting after 10:00 p.m. local time after an announced start time of 8:30 p.m.
Both shows occurred two months after the Celebration Tour kicked off in Europe. An October date in London also started late.
