Madonna Tour Slammed And Fined

Fans Walk Out On The Washed Up Star

Wembley Is Indeed Her Waterloo

September 12. 2008

Madonna’s wack “Stupid And Silly” um, I mean, “Sticky And Sweet” tour, has been having one problem after another, in several cities, like it’s jinxed. Ticket sales have been poor and the tour has been plagued by technical glitches and sound problems.

This week, Madonna turned up late for a show in London and her audience was left stranded, due to the trains having already stopped service for the night. She is facing a six figure fine for her poor conduct.

Audience members complained about the terrible sound and walked out during the show (um, but the terrible sound was her voice LOL). Her own fans, actually, what’s left of them, are very disgruntled. They voiced their displeasure at the poor sound, telling press outlets it's time for her to "retire."

When viewing the hideous photos from her tour in papers like the Daily Mail, the concerts look terrible and the show boring. They appear derivative, looking like slapped together rubbish, produced with no creativity, featuring an alleged artist, too foolish to realize her career is over.

Flopped album, failed tour and public hatred at an all time high, are blaring indicators of this undeniable fact.

Instead of having left the stage with some dignity 10 years ago, before the public discovered what a terrible animal she actually is, Madonna, scrounged around and recklessly stole material, intent on falling off said stage in disgrace. She refuses to accept it’s over. Wembley is indeed her Waterloo.

Madonna faces fine after turning up late and causing her show to over-run, leaving fans stranded at Wembley

MADONNA fans were furious today after the Diva was 40 minutes late on stage at Wembley -causing them to miss their last train home.

The 50-year-old singer was scheduled on stage at 8.30pm last night for the London-leg of her Sticky and Sweet tour.

But she didn't start her first song until 9.10pm meaning her two-hour show ran past the 10.30pm curfew which is in place to ensure concert-goers can get back into central London and make rail connections.

And thousands more inside the venue walked out in disgust after speakers failed in areas of the stadium leaving them unable to hear the songs.

Fan Aidan McCann, 31, who paid £70 for his ticket, said: "I have been a Madonna fan for over 25 years and have gone to all her concerts but the one in London last night was an absolute disgrace.

"There was a lack of screens and you could not hear her. Her promoters over sold tickets for areas of the stadium where the view was really bad.

"I spoke to the customer services manager and he said they had more than 3,000 complaints within the first set and they only had five customer services people on.

"People moved into the aisles and then security were forcing people out of the stadium and into the concourse. Everyone was furious and shouting.

"After seeing Kylie Minogue recently, all I can say is that maybe it is time Madonna gave it up. Kylie charges half the price for a ticket, actually signs live, looks better and cares about the audience."

Online chatrooms were also flooded with complaints. One fan called Joe wrote: "Very, very, very bad sound! I am a huge Madonna fan and felt like it was a huge letdown.

So many people were leaving even halfway through the show.

Near me there were a foo boo's and people losing interest. Not to mention, that the stewards at one point were telling people to make the best of a bad situation and dancing to sit down!"

After the gig, thousands of people rushed to Wembley Central Tube station and police were called calm angry fans, many of whom were forced to get expensive taxis home.

The station was even closed at one point due to safety fears about overcrowding on the platform.

A TfL spokesperson said: ''Last night's Madonna concert at Wembley Stadium was scheduled to finish at 10.30pm when a high level of Tube services were scheduled to ferry concert-goers home.

"Whilst the event finished approximately 40 minutes later when Tube services were less frequent the Tube did continue to run until 1am and was heavily used. In addition 11 different bus routes were also still serving the Wembley complex.''

Elton watches Madonna blunder

The singer turned up with husband David Furnish and U2 singer Bono to cheer the grandma of pop on the latest leg of her scintillating show.

Sadly for Madge, 50, US reports claim the singer hit the roof after her racy show was struck by a string of technical hitches after stage screens blacked out during several songs.
