Exclusive: Justin Bieber Expected Monday in San Jose for 2 Shows That Aren’t Exactly “Sold Out”

Share

Justin Bieber is expected in San Jose, California Monday for the first of two shows. He plays there on Monday and again on Wednesday. Because of all his cancellations, these dates will launch his “Justice” tour.

The SAP Center Arena in San Jose has an official capacity of 17,562 if needed. For Bieber, this number was not required. A total of 12,000 sears were put on sale for Justin’s shows. I’m told of those, 10,000 were sold to somebody, either ticket buyers or scalpers who resold them.

But Bieber is recovering this weekend from an obviously bad case of COVID-19. He missed all shows this past week because of it. No one is clear whether or not he’s been vaccinated, although all the fans who attend his shows must show proof of getting their shots.

A regular Bieber show has the 27 year old dancing and jumping around, two things — besides singing — that require healthy lungs. Let’s hope he’s feeling better and is ready for the week. After the two San Jose shows he has one more in Sacramento on Friday. Then he can take the weekend off and prepare for next Monday, March 7th and Tuesday the 8th in L.A. at the Staples, er, Crypto.com Center. (It’s a very leisurely schedule, really, for a young pop star. Why, in my my day…)

Better eat some of those peaches, Justin!
