George Michael was fined £130,000 for going an unluckly 13 minutes over his time at Wembley show on June 9th according to NME. Wembley charges bands £10,000 a minute they go over their agreed end time of the show. No word if he will pay the fine, but if he does I respect him for putting his fans before his wallet.
When I lived in Atlanta I ushered concerts at an outdoor venue in a residential area and if a concert went past their end time they too were fined. On average most bands made sure they were out on time, but John Mellencamp would pay the fine before the show and say I am going over so here is your money! And I am so glad he did because his shows were always amazing, so if you get a chance to see him live do it! Respect the artists who respect their fans!!!
