If done properly and fairly, this is a great thing! Need to see how it actually works in practice.

Get me those Gaga tickets without the stress and fighting over ticketmaster

Seems to be limited to US in its rollout but hopefully it becomes a thing in other places too!

This is awful in my opinion. Capitalism at its best. They don’t care about actually giving ‘real’ fans the opportunity to get first access, they just want something that will force people into using the platform more in a bid to try and avoid having to go to war on Ticketmaster. And all it’ll do within fan circles is make the parasocial maniacs manipulate it as much as they can and judge others based on their Spotify activity.
