Fans Won't Be Refunded for Their Justin Bieber Meet And Greet Tickets

This week, Justin Bieber made the shocking revelation that he would be cancelling all future meet and greets for his Purpose World Tour. Fans with meet and greet passes were obviously disappointed that they would get to meet the megastar, but now they can also be disappointed that they won’t get their money back.

We’ve all seen the Instagram post by now, but if you haven’t, here’s Beiber’s statement on why he’s stopped meeting with his fans:

Love u guys.. I’m going to be canceling my meet and greets. I enjoy meeting such incredible people but I end up feeling so drained and filled with so much of other people’s spiritual energy that I end up so drained and unhappy.. Want to make people smile and happy but not at my expense and I always leave feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted to the point of depression .. The pressure of meeting people’s expectations of what I’m supposed to be is so much for me to handle and a lot on my shoulders. Never want to disappoint but I feel I would rather give you guys the show and my albums as promised. Can’t tell you how sorry I am, and wish it wasn’t so hard on me.. And I want to stay in the healthy mindset I’m in to give you the best show you have ever seen 😉

Initially, fans thought they were going to receive a refund on their tickets because obviously they are no longer getting what they were promised. However, the company who handles Bieber’s tour events released this statement:

And an additional comment, via Perez Hilton, clarified, “Please note there are no partial refunds, so you would also be forfeiting your ticket in exchange for your money back.” BUT THERE IS MORE.

If you purchased the giant $2000 package, you will still be able to get a photo with Bieber, but not really meet him… azcentral.com tries to clarify this complicated situation, “If you purchased the ULTIMATE #Purpose Experience, your VIP package still includes the full experience as advertised, including a selfie with Bieber. What’s changed is that the singer is no longer doing the promised group photos. But he will be going to the hospitality lounge for what Bkstg calls ‘a hangout with fans’.” Basically, we have no idea what’s going on.. Bieber might be in a glass case somewhere and you can snap photos of him. OR! he might just pull an Avril Lavinge:
