Spotify's New “Reserved” Feature Wants to Fix Concert Ticketing — and Your Listening History Is Your Ticket

- ▪The program will launch this summer for select artists and tours, with plans for broader expansion.
- ▪Qualifying for Reserved does not guarantee a ticket, as there will be more superfans than available seats.
