Spotify has launched a new website dedicated to selling concert tickets titled Spotify Tickets. The streaming platform will allow customers to purchase tickets for live concerts and marks the company’s first ticket-related business endeavor. The website currently only has tickets for Limbeck, Annie DiRusso, Crows, Osees, and TOKiMONSTA available, as Spotify continues to conduct trial runs and tests on the service.
According to its legal terms, Spotify sells "tickets on behalf of third parties which can include venues, event promoters, fan clubs and artists (...) as their disclosed ticketing agent." Spotify hopes that this service will help foster strong relationships between the company and its partnered artists.
Consumers can visit the new Spotify Tickets website to browse through the list of shows and artists available.
