Woman attends Justin Timberlake show at Co-op Live to find seats 'no longer exist'

A woman who attended the Justin Timberlake concert at Co-op Live this week said and her friend were forced to move locations three times after their initial seats ‘no longer existed’ and had been 'scrapped' ahead of the show.
