Fans' six hour misery after Madonna late show
Thousands of Madonna fans faced delays of up to six hours getting home from her
She arrived on stage more than an hour late - and demanded the air-conditioning be switched off, despite sweltering conditions.
Some ferry services ran later than normal and taxi companies were alerted by the venue, but many people reached central London to find all Tube services had closed for the night.
Fans, including Daniel from London, were quick to voice their anger online. He wrote: "I thought the concert was amazing but actually she should apologise for starting late. I almost had a heart attack trying to get the last Tube. I love Madonna but it doesn't seem the feeling is mutual for her fans."
Andrew, also from London, wrote: "The O2 is supposed to be the premier concert venue so better air-conditioning, food and transport would have been appreciated.
"It was a nightmare journey to get to the show due to the Tube line being down. But if the audience can make the effort so should she. I never thought I would hear a crowd booing at a Madonna concert."
A carnival atmosphere had been expected, with London's ex-pat American community out in numbers to celebrate the Fourth of July holiday.Fans faced more travel disruption on Sunday night because of the continued suspension of the Jubilee line. However, the show started and finished on time.
A spokeswoman for arena owners AEG Worldwide said that a transport plan had been put in place to tackle the expected problems. She said of the Saturday gig: "Madonna unfortunately came on stage much later than we expected. Madonna requested that the arena be a certain temperature the air conditioning was turned on an hour before Madonna came on stage.
"We have become accustomed to the Jubilee line closures so have a robust alternative transport strategy in place. We do work closely with TfL to try to do everything we can to make the journey home as smooth as possible."
Last month fans were left queuing for hours after a concert by Beyoncé because of another planned suspension of the Jubilee line.
