Justin Timberlake forced to slash ticket prices to just $13 after drink-driving arrest

Music star Justin Timberlake has suffered fresh humiliation in the wake of his charge of driving while intoxicated.

Tickets for Justin Timberlake’s world tour have been slashed to less than $15 after the singer was arrested for drink-driving last month.

The star, currently on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, initially sold tickets for nearly $150. However, following his arrest, he has had to reduce prices, according to The Sun.

At Rupp Arena in Kentucky, tickets at the US venue seem to have dramatically lowered ticket prices, with the cheapest tickets now available for as low as $13.

Adding to the singer’s problems, his July 26 court date falls on the same day he is supposed to perform at the Tauron Arena in Krakow, Poland.

Justin Timberlake has marked down ticket prices at his upcoming show in Kentucky.

Insiders worry that the challenges of the tour, coupled with the lack of commercial success for his latest album, Everything I Thought I Was, are putting a significant strain on Timberlake.

“Justin’s friends want him to take another extended break from music to focus on his health and wellbeing,” a source close to the situation told The Sun.

“He has felt intense pressure to compete with touring juggernauts like Beyonce and Taylor Swift – and his tour has barely sold in comparison.”

The 43-year-old was pulled over in Sag Harbor, New York, after he was charged with driving while intoxicated on June 18.

Justin Timberlake was arrested in June for drink driving.

The star, currently on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, initially sold tickets for nearly A$150.

According to an arrest report, an officer saw the Cry Me A River singer “fail to keep on the right side of the roadway” and drive through a stop sign.

However, Timberlake appeared though to be unfazed by legal issues, addressing the crowd at TD Garden in Boston last week where he seemingly joked about his arrest.

“So uh, is there anyone here tonight that is driving and … no I’m just kidding,” the Grammy winner told fans in a video posted on TikTok.

After the audience erupted in laughter, the singer continued: “Is there anyone here tonight, that it’s your first time here to the show? Is there anybody here that you’ve been to one, two, three, maybe four of our shows?”
