seems like it would just get botted like anything else and also make it harder for fans of an artist who don't use spotify to get tickets

Surely this will get arbitraged like anything else, where fans who get picks will onsell tickets

  • You can also make non-transferable tickets. If it’s a decent discount for a specific intended person it makes sense.

  • The majority of concerts lack sufficient demand for scalpers to make money. It's only the Taylor Swifts and Beyonces whose ticket values exceed the sticker price.

"Stream fraud" is already a thing, so if anything this would make botting more profitable. Great synergy to be had here by fraudsters

there's always a criticism, something has to give.

lest you desire verifiable gov based ID tracking?
