Spotify is launching a new feature allowing its top fans in the U.S. to buy concert tickets early for select artists' tours. Eligibility is based on user engagement like streams and shares, with measures to prevent bot or AI manipulation. Eligible fans aged 18+ will receive notifications to purchase up to two tickets during a limited window, choosing date and location. This initiative aims to reward genuine fans and reduce ticket scalping, with plans to expand to more tours over time.
