Tickets to Justin Bieber's Mt Smart Stadium concert go on sale today - the price of which goes up to a whopping $625. Here are some things you can use your hard earned cash for instead:

Four passes to Bay Dreams

You and three friends could be partying it up with Grandmaster Flash and Yelawolf at the post-New Years music festival in Tauranga. And have enough left over for a couple of ice creams from a Mr Whippy truck.

A life-time supply of Chupa Chup lollipops

At 50 cents a pop you can get yourself 1250 pieces of delicious candy. Or at 4 for $1 from Countdown can get 2500. Which is a ridiculous and unnecessary amount of Chupa Chups. At least you'd be sorted for Halloween.

Twenty copies of Beauty and the Beast on blu Ray

Instead of seeing the Beauty and the Beat hitmaker, you can watch this Disney classic over and over and over again - and have a few spare copies to give to your friends.

Twenty-two tickets to Parris Goebel

Let's be honest: the only reason we got back into Bieber was because of the bad ass dance video Goebel and her dance crew made for Sorry. So why not get a massive group together to see the woman behind it live in concert?

PlayStation VR

If you're willing to fork out an extra $4.99 you could pick up the highly anticipated new PlayStation Virtual Reality unit, which is out tomorrow.

A dozen pairs of Calvin Klein undies

Bieber was the face of Calvin Klein, so instead of seeing him sing you could instead enjoy the underwear he wears. At around $50 each, that'll net you around 12 pairs in fact.
