Justin Timberlake in Abu Dhabi



Tickets to Justin Timberlake's finale in Abu Dhabi sold out in an hour and unfortunately (well maybe fortunately) we were not quick enough.

On December 6th, all the talk was about the concert, so you couldn't help but think you might be missing something good. Jeff had called in the middle of the day, thinking he had a line on tickets but it fell through.

At 6pm, we were heading home and decided "what the heck, let's drive to Abu Dhabi, see if we can get tickets - if not, we will go out for dinner". We went home, changed and were back on the road at 7pm, Justin Timberlake was due to go on stage at 9pm.

The concert was held on the lawn of Emirates Palace, so we knew it was going to be a great venue. We parked the car, walked briskly to the gates (partly cause Justin was on stage and partly cause Jeff had to go to the washroom). At first glance, it appeared that there was no hope but not more than five minutes later, an opportunity presented itself.

Much to our surprise, we managed to get "platinum" tickets for a fraction of the price. Justin entertained for another hour and a half, which was well worth the drive.

We made it in!!!
