MANILA, Philippines—Despite his arrest, Justin Bieber can still attend Miami Heat games on his regular courtside seats.

Heat owner Micky Arison, on his Twitter account, denied the reports of E! Online about the organization’s supposed decision to revoke Bieber’s courtside tickets early Sunday morning.

According to the American entertainment website, a source reported to them that the Heat pulled out Bieber’s tickets as the team did not want the “particular brand of attention” that the pop star brings.

Bieber was arrested in Miami in a rented Lamborghini after drag racing against a Ferrari and was allegedly drunk and under the influence of marijuana and prescription drugs.

Arison said that E Online’s report was an “absolutely ridiculous story,” and that Bieber is always welcome to attend Miami Heat in the American Airlines Arena.
