Madonna is in hot water, yet again, for the late starts to her concerts

In a complaint, filed on Friday in Washington D.C., three ticket buyers accused her of breaking the law by arriving two hours late to both of her shows at the city's Capital One Arena in December. 

Her fans, Elizabeth Halper-Asefi, Mary Conoboy, and Nestor Monte, Jr., alleged that while she was scheduled to take the stage for The Celebration Tour at 8:30 p.m., the Queen of Pop didn't begin her set until 10:30 p.m. 

According to the filing, obtained by Rolling Stone, the D.C. fans said they felt 'deceived' and had 'to leave the concerts early prior to the concerts,' depriving them of experiencing the complete concert that they paid to see.

Additionally, they accused the Holiday hitmaker of maintaining 'a hot and uncomfortable temperature in the venue during her performance.'

They also claimed she 'lip sync[ed] much of her performance.'

The disgruntled concertgoers declared that these alleged actions represent 'Madonna's arrogant and total disrespect' for ticketholders.

'In essence, Madonna and Live Nation are a consumer's worst nightmare,' the lawsuit states. 

At her tour stop in D.C., on December 18, the plaintiffs recalled the mother-of-six told the crowd: 'I am sorry I am late… no, I am not sorry, it's who I am… I'm always late.'

'Defendants failed to provide any notice to the ticketholders that the Concerts would start much later than the start time printed on the ticket and as advertised, which resulted in the ticketholders waiting for hours for the Concerts to begin at the Venue,' the suit claims. 

Per Rolling Stone, 'One of the plaintiffs, Halper-Asefi, spent $992.76 on tickets from StubHub, while the others purchased theirs from Ticketmaster. Conoboy spent $537.70 on two tickets while Monte shelled out $252.44 for two.' 

The lawsuit cited previously examples of Madonna's tardiness.

'There have been myriad articles in the media and the internet over the years of fans complaining about Madonna not taking the stage for several hours after the advertised start time of her concerts,' read the complaint. 'Unfortunately, not all people who rely on advertising for the concerts know this.'

The complaint also noted that 'even if some ticket purchasers know of Madonna's unfortunate history of starting her concerts late, they do not know how late she will show-up on stage at any particular concert, so ticket purchasers arrived at the start time as advertised.'

Ultimately the suit calls her 'deceptive trade practices, a breach of contract for not starting at 8:30, and misrepresentation, among other claims.'

The plaintiffs are seeking damages and 'any other relief.' 

DailyMail.com has reached out to Madonna's representative, but has not heard back, at this time.

Earlier this month, she fired back at another group of fans that sued her starting her concert three hours late at Brooklyn's Barclays Center on December 13. 

According to the filing, obtained by Rolling Stone, the D.C. fans said they felt 'deceived' and had 'to leave the concerts early prior to the concerts,' depriving them of experiencing the complete concert that they paid to see
