New in Spotify Separate musical content from podcasts
Technology Spotify includes shuffle as a paid feature
The streaming
music platform
Spotify has started testing
Spotify Tickets
, a new initiative with which it offers concert tickets for sale to fans and users from the application itself.
Spotify currently has
a 'feed' called 'Live Events'
for both the 'app' for PC and for iOS and Android, which locates live events in a personalized way and based on the user's playback habits and location.
In this section, the company offers its users the possibility of buying tickets for concerts and shows.
Once the concert is chosen, Spotify redirects them to
third-party platforms, such as Ticketmaster.
Now, the specialized media
Music Ally
has announced that Spotify has started the first tests of a new tool with a different format than this section.
In this case,
the 'app' will directly manage ticket sales
, instead of acting as an intermediary with other ticket sales platforms.
To this end, the company has launched the Spotify Tickets
initiative in the United States, available both in the application and on the
Spotify website tickets.spotify.com, where tickets for different artists are available for concerts that will take place in the United States. .
At the moment, this section offers pre-sale concert tickets for artists such as
Annie DiRusso, Tokimonsta, Osees, Dirty Honey, Limbeck, Crows and Four Years Strong
.
To access this service, the platform requires you to have an account and log in to it, as stated in its Terms and Conditions section.
After making the purchase, users
will receive a confirmation email
.
Spotify also indicates that tickets cannot be resold and are not transferable.
In addition, in the event that the concert is postponed or cancelled, the platform will collaborate with its organizers to
manage the refund of its amount
.
Within the legal section of Spotify Tickets, the company indicates that it sells tickets on behalf of the organizers of the event, so
its price does not depend on it
.
Likewise, it points out that it will charge a reservation commission that will be notified to the user before completing the purchase.
At the moment,
Spotify Tickets is in the testing phase,
as confirmed by a company spokesperson to TechCrunch, who has indicated that they cannot share any more news about their future plans.
