Two Madonna fans have filed a lawsuit against the pop star for starting her New York concert two hours late in December.

Michael Fellows and Jonathan Hadden are accusing Madonna, Live Nation and Barclays Center of "unconscionable, unfair, and/or deceptive trade practices," according to the lawsuit reviewed by Entertainment Weekly.

Tickets for the Dec. 13 Celebration Tour show stated an 8:30 p.m. start time but the singer didn't take the stage until after 10:30 p.m., multiple reports showed.

Fellows and Hadden stated that by the time the show ended around 1 a.m., they were "confronted with limited public transportation, limited ride-sharing, and/or increased public and private transportation costs." The pair also said in the lawsuit that they "had to get up early to go to work and/or take care of their family responsibilities the next day."

In June, the pop icon postponed her Celebration Tourfollowing an acute medical problem.

Her manager posted the news on his Instagram account, saying she entered intensive care at a hospital with a "serious bacterial infection."

The 43-city world tour promises to highlight "her unmatched catalog of music from the past 40-plus years," as well as "pay respect to the city of New York, where her career in music began,” according to the announcement video.
