New Delhi, April 22
Justin Bieber, the Grammy award winner and global pop sensation, who is making his way to India this summer for his Purpose Tour, has now done something extraordinary for one of his Indian fans.
The singer has decided that the most expensive ticket of the tour, worth Rs 75,000, should be gifted to someone who values his music.

The golden ticket gives people access to merchandise and backstage access. 50-year-old auto-rickshaw driver, a resident of Mumbai who earns a basic livelihood has a teenage son aged 22 years, who has been following Bieber's music since a while.
The son had dropped a personal message on Bieber's social media handle talking about his love for Bieber's music, hoping to receive a reply. Little did he know that his dream will turn to reality as he got a call from the organisers, White Fox India.
The organisers may even arrange a special meet and greet with the ‘Sorry' hitmaker backstage since the autorickshaw driver's son wants to pursue music.
The autorickshaw driver has been completely ecstatic and has promised the organisers to only play Justin Bieber songs in his autorickshaw for the next two months and plaster images of the popstar on his vehicle as a token of appreciation.
In the past, Bieber has helped patients with Leukemia, Meningitis, Down Syndrome etc. apart from building schools.
Arjun Jain, the man behind the tour, said: “Yes, it's true we have given the golden ticket to an ardent fan of Justin Bieber, who didn't have the means to afford the tickets. Bieber has always believed in charity and we wanted to ensure there is greater meaning to the Purpose Tour and we can extend our support to the causes Bieber publicly supports. We are also looking at partnering with the NGOs to donate certain proceeds of the concert to a noble cause.”
The Purpose World Tour has already mesmerised fans and critics alike across the United States, Canada and Japan last year and will tour throughout Europe before landing in Australia and New Zealand this year.
White Fox India will be bringing the 23-year-old Canadian megastar's Purpose World Tour to India's DY Patil Stadium, Mumbai, on May 10. —ANI
