Madonna fined £135k by Wembley Stadium

Singer’s Sticky & Sweet show overruns by 40 minutes

Monday, 29 September 2008

Madonna will have to pay the price for going on stage late at her Wembley Stadium gig earlier this month.

The 50-year-old Material Girl flouted the 10.30pm curfew on 11 September when her Sticky & Sweet show overran by 40 minutes.

‘The concert was meant to start at 8.30pm but Madonna didn’t come on stage until 9.10pm,’ a source tells The Sun.

‘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.’

Wembley Stadium charges £50,000 for every 15 minutes an act plays over the 10.30pm deadline, which means she'll have to pay £135,000.

George Michael, 45, was fined £130,000 when his concert ran late last year.

In state of law, there is a proportionalitiy between the "fault" and the damage. This penalty is highly exagerate and I have the feeling that the local bureaucrats have acted here not very differently as Russian colleagues would act, colleagues for which have so much disdain.
