Justin Beiber is coming back to Fresno.

Tickets go on sale 10 a.m. Friday, Nov. 20, for a March 26 concert at Save Mart Center. The stop here is part of Bieber’s 50-plus city “Purpose World Tour” that kicks off March 9 in Seattle.

Tickets are $50.50, $76 and $116. They can be purchased at select Save Mart supermarkets, online at ticketmaster.com or by calling 800-745-3000.

When Bieber came to Fresno in 2012, 500 people lined up outside Save Mart Center at 5 a.m. the day tickets went on sale. Many were turned away because the show sold out so quickly.

American Express Card members can purchase tickets before the general public beginning noon Monday, Nov. 16 through 10 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 19. at www.aeglive.com.

The songs “Sorry” and “What Do You Mean?” are from Bieber’s latest CD, “Purpose.” The CD hit No. 1 on Billboard’s all-format airplay/sales/streaming-based Hot 100 the week of its release, selling over 335,000 units digitally in the U.S. that week.
