Citing boredom, a lack of hits, and, with one fan calling it the "worst ever concert," droves of fans checked out of England's Hyde Park well before the end of Madonna's MDNA tour stop. 

The show—Madonna's first stop in England in four years—failed to sell out, with tickets available on eBay for as low as $15. 

According to the London Evening Standard:

Rick Salthouse, 46, a gym owner from Manchester, said: "It was the worst gig I have ever been to. I've been a big Madonna fan all my life but I will never buy one of her records again."

Alex Tobin, 35, a bank worker from Beckenham, said: "It was a huge disappointment. I didn't recognise 95 per cent of the songs. Most people were bored." His wife Sinead, 35, a doctor, said: "It was OK to begin with but the rain didn't help. It changed the mood of the crowd."

But Adam Cook, 28, from Milton Keynes, said: "She was brilliant but for the casual fan there was not a lot. We went to see her show in Berlin and they went mental, it was the same show." TV presenter Toby Anstis wrote on Twitter: "I can definitely say, that was THE best live show i have ever seen! Mesmerising from start to finish! Amaaaazin!"

Maybe she should've pulled out one of her "gimmicks"?

What a lot of bollocks - you probably spoke to VIP 'free' ticket people... Where I was, everyone was having a blast and real fans knew the new songs as well as the old. She's not a museum performer, she still has great new material to share!

Look, what do you expect from her? No, her time is not over until she dies. She has been so influential and will go down in history with some of the most influential people of all time. You will want her to sing all her old songs? To come out with new influential hits? What do you want from her?

She is getting old, and her tastes are changing, and what she is doing now is more casual and that is still very nice.
