Timbaland Disappoints
Filed under: Music Minute > Australiastic > Timbaland
Timbaland is going to have a lot of angry Australian fans. Actually, he might not have any Aussie fans left after this!
The rapper was set to start his 2008 Australian tour overseas this week.
He was originally set to begin the tour in July, though he rescheduled the date and pushed it back to August.
Timbaland was then scheduled to open his tour in Sydney on Friday, August 15th at the Sydney Entertainment Centre with tickets going for $98.70 – $122.65.
However, with only two days left before the concert, he's CANCELLED the tour!
WTF?!?
Wonder if his ticket sales were so low they figured it would be best to cancel it all together.
Ticket holders got the following email sent to them. An "apology" letter by Ticketmaster, stating:
Subject: Timbaland Sydney Cancelled
Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2008 10:34:01 +1000

That sucks! I sat next to him at the Justin Timberlake concert!
probably not that many people got tickets…. he sucks
have u heard his new song? wow….better than 4 minutes!
I feel sorry for him. He is talented. If I were alive I'd want his production skills ona track of mine. "Superstar" that he is.
He cancelled his show in finland too!
oh well, hope he doesn't make a habit of that
Who cares? In funnier news: Jessicunt Simpson is now a failure on country radio as well. Her new "country" single "Come on Over" stalls at #18 and begins it's decent into oblivion like her last pop failure "A Public Affair". Good riddence Jessicunt. Now take your loser sister with you!
He's not that famous as a solo artist….too late to apoologize timbo!!
Re: Del_Rob – what's his new song??? and that really does suck for those people who no longer get to go to that concert.

Re: Del_Rob – thanks for the song! love your pic!
Re: thomyboy32 – ty
nice pic yourself.
He is in POLAND then, Bitches
He was supposed to play Lahti in Finland on Aug 23rd. Then, reports emerged in Finnish media that he had actually triple-booked and was scheduled to play Finland, Poland AND Australia at the same time. People in Finland stopped buying tickets and that show was quickly cancelled for "poor ticket sales", leaving Poland and Australia to duke it out in terms of sales. I guess Poland won? Not very good business practises here…
His a liar!! He also cancelled his Finland gig, reason was begause he was booked to Australia on that day.. Now we see what his really made of! His nothing without others.
Re: mooroo – F………………………………K you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Del_Rob – cool song…thanks for letting me know about it

TIMBALAND FEATURING WHO? LOL, OH..TIMBALAND Featuring himself and Other's Musical Talent..LOL, Maybe he could Feature Rupal..Now those 2 would make a Killer Drag show..LOL
Hi

Sorry hun, but those look like WalMart pants that the guy tore so they'd look good.
I.Was.Pissed.Off!!!!
No one in their right mind would want to see Timbaland live.
What an asshole. This reminds me of the time last year when the Spice Girls did the same thing to us.
WTF? Ticket sales or no ticket sales it's not like he can't afford it and who doesn't want to tour Australia? There's something else going on…
this happens heaps down here in Aus. I used to work for one of the major ticketing companies…and its usually with RnB performers, they don't advertise half as much as they should and things get cancelled a few days before…its just crap promotion down here that affects them..
Booo Timmy!
Timbalame is pathetic. Never let the fat bastard in Australia, if he does somehow come here one day i will chuck tomatoes at him, canned tomatoes.
What about the poor people who organized distant travel to see him and had to pay extra expenses!? What about Optus who organized underage sessions and then got totally screwed!
Glad i ain't a mega fan and got disappointed, pity to those who did. Timbo obviously doesn't give a care in the world about what small amount of fans he has.
im so annoyed. i was looking forward to it for so long!
he could of been more prepared and called it quits when he pushed it back.
ruined my friday night
thanks timbaland
ITS TOO LATE TO APOLOGISE..
ITS TOO LATTTTTTTTEE…
he said it himself
i am very dissapointed
