Superfans React to Spotify's New Way to Easily 'Reserve' Concert Tickets
Booking seats at your favorite shows might just become a whole lot easier for subscribers to a certain streaming platform.
Spotify announced on Thursday, May 21 a new service for premium users called Reserved, which will let select artists set aside tickets for fans on the app.
"Getting concert tickets today can feel like a race you're set up to lose," Spotify wrote in a post, per The Hollywood Reporter. "You show up at the right time, refresh endlessly, and still miss out. Too often, the experience is stressful, unpredictable, and disconnected from what should matter most: whether real fans actually get tickets. We think there's a better way."
Check out the platform's recent Instagram post below.
Fans took to the comments section to show their support for the new feature. "Wait this is a fantastic idea 🔥🔥🔥," wrote one Instagram user, while another person commented, "GAME CHANGER 😱😱😱."
Per THR, Spotify said the select artists will be able to use Reserved starting this summer. The platform has partnered with Live Nation on the program as part of a multiyear agreement. The platform will use streams, shares and other types of activity to "identify an artist's most dedicated fans and hold two tour tickets for them."
Fans selected through Reserved will get up to two tickets, and they'll have a daylong window to make a ticket purchase if selected Spotify didn't give any details on what artists will work with the streaming service for the new feature, or how many tickets artists would set aside with Reserved, THR also noted on Thursday. But the service acknowledged "there will be significantly more superfans than there are seats available on a tour, so not every fan will receive an offer."
In other Spotify news, the streamer recently announced which Netflix series have the most-streamed soundtracks, and at the top of the list is none other than Stranger Things. Since its premiere in 2016, the soundtrack has racked up a total of 765 million all-time streams, according to new data released by Spotify.
