Like JLo in North America , it looks like Justin Timberlake is struggling to get the Brits to purchase tickets to his upcoming tour.

Justin Timberlake’s comeback hasn’t had the earth-shattering impact he was probably hoping for, as not only are his album sales low, but his tour isn’t exactly a sell-out.
The Cry Me A River hitmaker, 43, returns to the UK and Europe this summer for a string of dates, including two August shows at London’s O2 Arena.
However, the US star is struggling to shift tickets, with Ticketmaster’s seating plan showing a whole load still available.
For Justin’s Manchester show on August 8, the map shows the majority of the venue still in blue, including sections near to the stage.
Thankfully, more tickets have been sold for Justin’s Birmingham gig, but there are currently still full blocks available.
As for his dates in the capital city, JT still has some promo to do if he wants to fill at max capacity.
It comes as Justin’s new album also flops because, well, early charting figures aren’t glittering.
Last Friday (March 15), Justin returned with his first new album in half a decade, Everything I Thought It Was.
While critics’ reviews were mixed, sales did initially pick up on iTunes.
As for streaming platforms like Spotify, though, it’s a different story.
In fact, its opening day performance is really not great at all.
Of the 200 most-streamed songs on Spotify that Friday in the United States alone, not one of them came from Everything I Thought It Was.
Not even the lead single, Selfish, or follow-up Drown, ranked.
Meanwhile, Down Under, Everything I Thought It Was arrived on the charts at number 23.
At this point I think JT needs to either reunite with NSYNC and go on a whole nostalgia tour, or jump on the Vegas residency bandwagon.
