With over 20 million units sold worldwide Justin Bieber’s chart record remains the envy of many a Pop prince.
Alas, a new report unleashed today suggests the same can’t be said for him as far as filling stadiums is concerned.
Sources at AEG Presents, the company behind his ‘Purpose World Tour‘ have revealed that execs aren’t bothered by Bieber’s decision to cancel its next set of dates because they weren’t selling.
Company sources say, overall, the 154-concert tour was very successful, but some of the final dates weren’t selling that well. After playing sold-out arena dates all over the country, Bieber might have been pushing his luck trying to return and play stadium shows without releasing a new album, sources say.
Just one of the 14 shows left on the tour was a sellout, and in nearly every market, 5,000 to 12,000 tickets per show were available on the secondary market, often priced below face value. That made it very difficult to sell any additional tickets, and in many markets there were large sections of the stadium that were unsold.
These talkative sources added:
If the sales were better, we might have pushed a little harder to try and convince him to finish the tour.
Fortunately, Bieber pocketed a sweet $68 million from dates he committed to playing this year and is unlikely to face any legal lashings from AEG as both parties agreed to the cancellation.
Knew something was wrong. It was really strange of him to suddenly cancel his tour for such stupid excuses being reported by the mainstream media (eg. overworking, starting a church,etc). Tbh I’m more shocked at how poorly his tour is selling now yet just last November was so hyped up. I think its time to pull the plug and start focusing on a new album.
Average Voice, Average Dancer if thats what you call him, Rude to Fans, Cancel Meet and greets because it “drained his energy”. Lazy stage show. PUNK BYE. Lip Singing 1/2 the show or more. JUSTIN is overrated and corny
I knew that was part of the reason. I’m like there is no way he can turn around and do a stadium tour .. he is not mentally there a nd the demand ain’t there. No he brought like Shawn mendes and one of those 1d guys with him.. now those tickets would have sold
LEAVE THAT FOR QUEEN BEY!!! WHOS MADE FOR THIS STADIUM SHYT!
Pink was doing it long before Beyoncé.
Beyoncé & Pink both are arena fillers NO DOUBT!! Pinks first album is EVERYTHING to me & another one is also but I can’t think of the name…??♂️
Sit Down. Pink has never done a US stadium tour.
And technically Beyonce has never filled a stadium. Her tour setup alone took up half the stadium, so folks can think a sold out show means the stadium was filled…when it wasn’t lol. Smoke & mirrors.
If you are a Black Artist selling out stadiums of 30-70 thousand people in the US & UK grossing over $250 Million in 49 shows when it takes Rock Legends like Bruce Springsteen & Coldplay more than 60 shows to outgross her, is that smoke & mirrors? That’s an accomplishment for Beyoncé no matter how you slice it!
The same Beyoncé that came back and played the same stadiums 2 times in one year. All sold out. The same Beyoncé who had higher attendance per show than her other peers in the same venues. Y’all tried that stage half stage mess until the box office scores came and proved she was playing 40-50k per night of SOLD tickets. Try again no smoke and mirrors here.
dont even start….those guys cant even sell…a proper album…leave alone concert…justin bieber is one of the highest selling artists of all time lolz
The tour should’ve ended after 125 dates… Anything beyond that is just ridiculous for a pop star.
Sounds like fake news. If a stadium is at 60K capacity for example, 12K available tickets mean the stadium is filled at least 80%. Who cancels a tour with an 80% fill rate? This is fake news.
I mean he’s been touring for 3048;72829 years. Everyone probably already saw him perform already. To keep going is akin to beating a dead horse.
The real question is what made everyone involved think he can sell out stadiums? lol.
Thank you!!!
bruh its super easy for bieber to sell out stadiums…he cancelled it because of exhaustion….fake news are u dumb?
he has sold out stadiums….tf? he can do it in one second….he cancelled because of ecxhaustion are u dumb?
i never knew you were that retarded..that guy can sell out stadiums within seconds….he had already sold out those areas..he cancelled it because he was drained…he has already sold ou stadiums within seconds how dumb and f***** can u be?
dont even start….those guys(sm and 1d) cant even sell…a proper album…leave alone concert…justin bieber is one of the highest selling artists of all time lolz
