The O2 is not in a residential area and does not have a legal curfew despite the urban legends you may read online.
Each promoter can set a "latest finish time" with the venue to make sure that staff are booked to stay - ive been to a number of O2 events this year that have gone on well past midnight / towards 1am. Indeed, some other events (e.g. DJs) go well into the early hours of the morning at venues like The O2, IndigO2 and Wembley Arena. I had a good chat with a colleague who works there about it all.
Even if they run over the "latest finish time", the staff will stay, and the promoter just pays a fine (e.g. when Justin Bieber didn't come on until 10.45pm and finished at 12:30am, the promoter just paid a fine).
Interestingly Madonna went past 11pm on her second Rebel Heart show at The O2 and the screens got switched on advertising the final tube times at midnight whilst she was singing Holiday.
The only venue in London that "pulls the plug" as far as I know it is Hyde Park, at 10.35pm. Thats not to say it couldn't happen at The O2 if she runs well over the agreed latest finish time / something like Rebel Heart Glasgow happens where its her sound team (rather than the venue) which close down early - but to my knowledge its not happened to date since The O2 opened.

Enjoy Caberet! Of course we can say hi, we could well have said a quick "hi" on MX London - I was so tired / struggling mentally by that point, had covid during the first few shows (I didn't know what it was, just thought it was a bad cough - didn't know it was covid until I took an antibody test shortly after lockdown - EVERYONE was hacking, had "that bad cold" during the Lisbon shows including a lot of the dancers..), I hope I wasn't too grumpy / tired when we met, and a huge sorry if I was. I perked up a little on towards the end / my polaroid show!

I think I met you in London for MXT but didn't have the chance to introduce myself... maybe this time?
Unfortunately, being a teacher I can't travel during winter. If Europe was during summer I probably would have done more.
I won't be at the party because I am also a musical theatre fan and I will be in London with a friend who is not a M fan, so we are going to see Cabaret on Friday. I haven't been in London since February 2020...
I hope someone will be streaming. I want to repeat the magic of the RHT nights here on the forum. Is the Periscope app still in use?

Haha. It's been my life since 2001. Madonna goes on tour, I go on tour too! 
I usually do 30-40 shows, this is my tour with the most dates, for a bit of a reason : Madame X I had 50 shows booked; my mum became terminally ill just before the tour started - I was distracted, grumpy, and when I was away just wanted to be home and became resentful of being abroad when shows were being cancelled and I could have been at home with mum, and I ended up cancelling all the Paris shows to become her full time carer - which I got to do throughout the pandemic until she died in Oct 2020. Mum was a Madonna fan before me - and always knew my passion for travel and her shows, and she felt a burden for me cancelling the Paris dates and made me promise I'd "make it up next time" which is what I'm planning on doing.
In terms of my touring bug, Ive told my story on various TV shows, magazines and podcasts about how I caught the bug, why & how so won't repeat it here. It's so lovely because I can land in any country now knowing theres 'Madonna friends' there; i've met so many of you guys over the years. Sure you get a bit of judgement, hate and bullying for doing what you love the most (there was once a moderator on another forum who became my biggest hater - I called him a fan  - a couple of tours ago)  but you just shut that out!
Anyways ive taken this way off topic, naughty for a Mod on other M forums - sorry / understand if this needs to be deleted!

I wish I’d thought of that idea for the MadonnaTribe locator!

I’ll be photographing not streaming - if we’re allowed! Madame X was the first time since 2008 I’ve not done a tour photo book and I’ve already had people asking if I’m doing one again this time!

@Pedro Beltranno worries at all! Glad it was useful

hey guys! I'm attending both nights in Lisbon!

Nothing personal towards Milan! I run a group for people who’ve survived stroke and a number of my volunteers are off that week, so I need to be home to cover. If things change I may add it later. :-)
 

Hi dear ❤️
first of all, thank you for sharing your story, I would never hate anyone for doing what they love to do, and if this makes you happy, you go for it ❤️, besides, your are not hurting anyone in the whole world. So, go and know more Madonna friends around the world and always be happy ❤️ 
regards from Monterrey Mexico 🇲🇽 
 
ps: excuse my English, is not very good 🥹😅🫢
