Justin Timberlake's tour woes: DUI arrest slashes ticket prices
After Justin Timberlake was caught driving under the influence of alcohol, his stock in the showbiz market plummeted. Ticket prices for singers' concerts in the USA are dropping drastically. Tickets were available for as low as £7.
After being arrested for driving under the influence in June in New York, Justin Timberlake became the talk of the town.
Fans of the 43-year-old started analysing concert footage, claiming that the star was performing while intoxicated. Although some defended the artist, and some journalists emphasised that these were unsubstantiated rumours, the bad press has significantly affected concert attendance.
According to the newspaper "The Sun," the American tour of the singer did not sell out entirely, and the cheapest tickets were available for as low as £7 each.
The Rupp Arena in Kentucky offered such prices, selling tickets for the star's performance as part of the Forget Tomorrow World Tour. Other venues in the States provided entry to Timberlake's performance in a similar price range, although tickets initially cost around £80 each.
People close to the artist fear that problems with the tour and the lack of commercial success of the latest album, Everything I Thought I Was, significantly burden Justin.
