Ever since Justin Bieber became a YouTube star and began his meteoric rise to superstardom, Beliebers have always been some of the most hardcore fans in the world. They spend hundreds of their – or, more likely, their parents’ – hard-earned dollars going to concerts and buying his music. They start large social media campaigns in the name of all things Justin, and make sure their voices are heard when it comes to anything Bieber-related. And now they’re making their voices heard in speaking out against Bieber. More specifically, the prices on pre-sale packages for the upcoming Purpose World Tour.
The VIP packages start at the high price of $2,000 for the “Ultimate Purpose Experience” which includes special seating, a selfie with Justin, and a backstage tour. There’s also $925 for the “I’ll Show You” experience, which includes a “group” photo with Justin and the aforementioned special seating (with no indication on how many people a “group” is), as well as $325 for the “Where Are U Now” experience, which gets you special seating and a bag of Bieber merchandise.
Using the hashtag #Justiceforbrokeliebers, fans have expressed their displeasure about the exorbitant fees. There are a lot of “brokeliebers” saying that Justin should say “Sorry” and lower the prices, allowing more of his fans to get the opportunity to meet the superstar.

After declarations that Purpose is meant to be for the fans for their unending support for all things Bieber, it seems pretty clear that Justin meant to say that the album was for his fans, but the tour is only for fans willing to spend an arm and a leg.
