It was until 10:50 p.m that Madonna began her concert with the song Nothing Really Matters. As expected, the fans were unforgiving, and as soon as the performer of La Isla Bonita appeared, the screams and boos were not long in coming. As the program progressed, however, tempers calmed down to some extent, because although many users claim that the program was worth the hours of waiting, Madonna didn't bother to offer an explanation for her delay.

After two hours of playing through songs like “Holiday,” “Like a Prayer,” “Vogue,” and “Hung Up,” Madonna ended her concert 12:55 a.m, leaving his fans with a bittersweet experience. Many speculate that Madonna was delayed due to health issues related to the bacterial infection that caused her to delay her tour earlier this year. Others say the delays are part of the experience of seeing the singer and so aren't surprised.
“She was so late that people booed her and he left before I even got on stage. When he finished his performance, they turned on the lights and people got angry.Why did it start so late? No explanation was given Why did they have to have a DJ on stage for almost 70 minutes? I had to leave at 11:20 am after paying $125 for my ticket. I want and deserve my money back“,”Madonna started her show 2.5 hours late last night? I won't spend any money to see it, no ma'am, this shit is getting on my nerves.“It’s always late, but it’s always worth it for the show!”, “I don’t give a fuck if you’re Madonna.” If you are 3 hours late you are being rudewere some of the comments people made about Madonna's late arrival at Barclays Center.
