Madonna Fined By Wembley Stadium

Madonna was fined $249,750 by Wembley Stadium officials for breaking the venue’s curfew during the London stop of her Sticky & Sweet world tour earlier this month. The Material Girl’s show went past the 10.30pm curfew by 40 minutes when she played there on September 11th. She has been charged $92,500 for every 15 minutes past curfew. A 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.”

Hefty? I would guess Madonna was able scrap enough pennies together to cover that. She may have to adjust her monthly entertainment budget though… tough break.
