‘Disgusted by what he did’ say Justin Timberlake fans as they rush to sell off tour tickets after drink-drive arrest
JUSTIN Timberlake’s furious fans are desperately trying to sell off their tickets to his tour as it risks being cancelled.
The pop star, 43, was arrested yesterday and charged with drink driving following a night out with his pals.
He is due in court on the night he is supposed to kick off the European leg of The Forget Tomorrow World Tour – in Krakow Poland.
Justin is also booked to play in the city the following night.
Insiders told The Sun he was desperate not to cancel the shows, but his fans are still concerned and not happy about his arrest.
One person wrote: “@Ticketmaster can I get a refund for my 4 Justin Timberlake tickets for this Fridays Chicago show? No one wants to support a drunk driver that could have killed innocent people.”
A second said: “Justin Timberlake, if I travel to Manchester at 32 weeks pregnant to finally see you and you bottle your show, I will personally hunt you down! Get your act together!”
While a third: “What Justin Timberlake did is just awful and I take all the distance from what he did, I’m disgusted and if you feel like this too and are thinking to sell some of EITW tour either in London/Manchester/Birmingham hit me up because I’m looking desperately for tickets.”
His next court date is July 26 and the European dates of his tour start on the same day.
Some fans took to X, after his arrest, to see if they could see their tickets.
One said: “I’m selling Justin Timberlake London tickets for August 10&11 respectively at The O2 Arena.”
“Got 4x Justin Timberlake tickets to the 02, London, Aug 13, kindly send me a dm if interested xx,” another wrote on the social media platform.
A third has tweeted: “Selling 4x Justin Timberlake tickets to the 02, London, Aug 13, hmu.”
Justin, who found fame on the Disney channel alongside his former girlfriend Britney Spears, will bring his tour to the UK in August.
It includes performances in Manchester, Birmingham and two dates at London’s O2 Arena.
He last performed in Miami on Saturday night and is due to be back on stage in Chicago on Friday night.
Justin, who has two children with his actress wife Jessica Biel, had been on a night out in the posh Sag Harbor area of New York with pals at the American Hotel before he was arrested.
He was pulled over by police yesterday morning around 12:30am.
Justin did not halt at a stop sign which led to police pulling him over.
He was handcuffed and arrested at the side of the road after allegedly refusing to take a test to show if he was over or under the legal limit of alcohol.
In court Justin was charged and released without bail.
Timberlake's Criminal Attorney to the Stars
Justin Timberlake hired Sag Harbor legal eagle Ed Burke Jr for his DWI case
Justin’s attorney has represented a gamut of notable names out east.
In 2015, the attorney represented a pre #MeToo era Matt Lauer in his fight with his Water Mill neighbors to plant trees along his property in an effort to combat noise from adjoining properties that were spooking his horses.
In 2017, Ed represented Harvey Weinstein in a fender bender incident in a parking lot in the Hamptons, where the disgraced movie mogul allegedly tried to drive away.
In 2001, he represented Lizzie Grubman, a nightlife publicist whose car careened into a crowd of 16 people in front of a Hamptons club, before fleeing the scene.
As well as being charged with drink driving, the court heard how he ran a stop sign and allegedly failed to stay in his own lane.
A source who witnessed Justin leaving the American hotel said: “Justin was out to dinner with friends and there were cop cars stationed outside the restaurant, like there are most nights.
“They look for people who are leaving after midnight who might have been drinking.
“Justin left at 12:30 am and was pulled over.
“Nobody was hurt and there was no drama.”
