Justin Bieber was greeted by boos from fans as he made his way onto the stage at London’s O2 Arena two hours later than Beliebers had expected him to begin his performance.

Bieber kicked off the Believe tour in the U.K. with a tardy arrival time that miffed his legion of fans. According to the newly 19-year-old pop star’s Twitter page, he’d been having a “good day” – likely the cause of his delay. Although Bieber benefits from one of the most loyal fan bases in music, many were openly outraged and believed they were owed a refund.

"I was at the concert and he [Bieber] came out at 10:15 p.m. and Carly Rae Jepsen finished her set at 9:10 p.m. Justin should have been out at 9:30," concertgoer Sophia Lee told E! News, whose ticket actually read that Bieber should have taken the stage at 8:30 p.m. "Everyone was kept waiting not knowing anything. All they did was kept playing Michael Jackson songs. All the fans were getting so annoyed at around 9:50 p.m., fans started booing."

Bieber’s delayed start forced many concertgoers to leave early. The younger fans had to get to bed as it was a school night, and those traveling by the Tube had to catch the last train home. "I stayed! But many people left early as the last underground train was at 12 a.m., so people needed to get home," Lee continued. "He didn't even apologize. That's what makes it worse… My mom paid for five tickets so she's not happy."

Today, Bieber took to Twitter to give his side of the story. After claiming that the media exaggerated the situation at the concert he wrote, “However, it was a great show and I’m proud of that… and tonight we will run on time and look forward to putting on an amazing show for everyone in attendance.”
