Justin Timberlake and StubHub.com have teamed up on a series of charity ticket auctions for the recording-star's successful "Justified and Stripped" Tour with Christina Aguilera. Effective immediately, Timberlake's fans in cities across the country can bid on packages that include two front-row concert tickets, backstage tour passes, an autographed photo and the double platinum "Justified" CD. The auctions can be accessed through www.StubHub.com or via Timberlake's website, www.justintimberlake.com. Proceeds from the ticket auctions will benefit the Justin Timberlake Foundation, which promotes music education through grants to schools and after-school programs.

"There are so many kids who can use music to make a positive difference in their lives," said Lynn Harless, Justin's mother and Justin Timberlake Foundation chairman. "The proceeds of the online auctions are going to help lots of kids achieve their dreams through music."

"We're thrilled that Justin Timberlake has chosen StubHub.com to help raise money for his Foundation," said Eric Baker, President of StubHub.
