AceShowbiz - A lot of Justin Bieber fans got disappointed when he announced he'd canceled all future meet and greets on his ongoing tour. Some Beliebers who had paid $2000 to see him got even more disappointed when they were greeted with a cardboard cutout of the pop superstar in a backstage room at his Las Vegas show over the weekend.
It's unclear if the cutout was put there on purpose or not, but fans who had shelled out lots of money for the meet and greet weren't happy about it and vented their frustration on Twitter. Meanwhile, other fans showed support for them by taking to the micro-blogging site to mock Bieber.

Bieber is currently in the middle of his "Purpose" tour, which comes in support of his latest album of the same name. A few days ago, he announced that he's canceling all future meet and greets because they made him "so drained and unhappy." He further explained, "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."
Fans who have paid between $900 to $2,000 for one-on-one meet and greets are being offered refunds. However, most of them chose not to take the offer because if they do, they'll also lose their front row seats at the shows.
