Last week, Justin Bieber canceled all scheduled meet-and-greets on the Purpose tour, leaving a lot of fans with a $2,000 credit card bill and no Biebs selfie to show for it.
According to a screenshot of the terms and conditions of the Purpose tour VIP packages, Beliebers can’t get their money back from the meet-and-greets unless they give up the packages entirely — concert ticket included. Buying into the backstage pass was an all-or-nothing deal, and now that Justin isn’t feeling up to his end, the fans are out of luck.
It’s understandable that meeting fans every night could be draining; it’s tough to act like a superhero for people when you don’t feel like one. But there are other ways Justin could pay people back for their considerable financial investment in his presence.
For example...
-
He could follow you back on Twitter
It’s easy to buy Twitter followers by the thousands, but one authentic Justin follow is worth a million eggs.
-
2. He could actually create a private Insta with VIP-exclusive content
If he can’t take selfies with every fan, at least he can share extra selfies with those who have committed to the cause.
-
3. He could demo new music exclusively for the VIPs

-
4. He could confirm his relationship status
Only his inner circle of VIP Beliebers would know, and I’m sure they’d never tell.
-
5. He could donate that extra 2K per person to a mental health organization
It’s not exactly a refund, but plenty of people struggle with depression just like Justin, and it would be a meaningful gesture of good faith.
-
6. He could let the fans design his next tattoo by committee
Is $2,000 enough to buy a few square inches of real estate on Justin Bieber?
-
7. He could play an exclusive acoustic set once the Purpose tour is over
And the VIP ticket holders could stream it if they can’t make it out IRL.
-
8. He could give away the tour merch he’s been wearing onstage

-
9. He could give all his VIPs a rain check — or an actual refund
Justin could invite them out to hang when he’s feeling less stressed. Or just, you know, change his tour’s ticketing policy and pay them back with money.
