VIP tickets for Justin Bieber's Purpose tour are being sold on Ticketmaster's Resale site for more than four times the original price - despite tickets still being available.
Originally priced at $525, tickets in the VIP "Where are you now" section are for sale on the sister site for a staggering $2587 each.
Staff at Ticketmaster confirmed there were still "dozens" left in the two VIP sections for $525 and $650.
Ticketmaster Resale is a separate company to Ticketmaster but the tickets sold on the site are guaranteed. Sellers set the price for tickets and Ticketmaster Resale takes a fee for the sale.

His last concert here was for the Believe tour in 2013, which took place in the much smaller Vector Arena and was met with mixed reactions, with some fans walking out amidst accusations of lip-syncing.
Since then, Bieber's undergone an image and sound overhaul, embracing a more R&B sound and teaming up with Kiwi hip hop choreographer Parris Goebel to help launch his album Purpose.
