Justin Timberlake performing at a thank you show for fans to celebrate the release of Madonna's 'Hard Candy' at the Roseland Ballroom. New York City, USA - 30.04.08

The SexyBack hitmaker arrived at the MTV studios in the city ahead of the network's Fall 2008 Upfront Presentation - to inform artists about multi-platform opportunities on the music channel.

But after leaving his black sports utility vehicle (SUV) outside the building, the star was handed a parking ticket by a warden upon his return to the car.

However, the incident did little to dampen Timberlake's spirits - footage posted on TMZ.com shows the singer laughing and joking as the official handed him the penalty.
