Madonna has been 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 overran the 10.30pm curfew by 40 minutes when she played there on 11 September - her only date in the U.K.
She has now been charged $92,500 for every 15 minutes she overstayed her welcome. A Wembley 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."

Ahem. So the concert made her $5,000,000 from the ticket revenue and merchandising the $300,000 fine means what to her? She spent that on showers in her new private gym.
