The company recently relaunched its concert listings feature as a ‘Live Events Feed’ within its app, linking to tickets sold by partners including Ticketmaster, AXS, Dice, Eventbrite and See Tickets. We have no further news to share on future plans at this time.”Ĭlearly there are some sensitivities here, because Spotify already has several partnerships with ticketing firms. Some of those end up paving the path for our broader user experience and others serve only as important learnings,” a spokesperson told Music Ally. “At Spotify, we routinely test new products and ideas to improve our user experience. The company is making it very clear that this is just a test for now, and that it’s focused on pre-sales rather than primary ticketing. The tickets will come from those artists’ pre-sale allocations for upcoming concerts.ĭon’t get carried away with any ‘Spotify takes on Ticketmaster’ hyperbole just yet. The test is happening in the US, with Annie DiRusso, Tokimonsta, Osees, Dirty Honey, Limbeck, Crows and Four Years Strong the first artists confirmed for the initiative. It kicks off tomorrow (10 August) with a small number of artists, with pre-sale tickets available to fans through Spotify’s app and a newly-launched website. Spotify’s latest expansion into the world of live music will see the streaming service selling tickets directly to fans, rather than just linking to external ticketing firms.įor now, this is strictly a test rather than a full commercial launch.
