In an ideal world, the artist's own mailing list or fan community would be the canonical place for this, because it's closer to a direct relationship

Subscribing to a mailing list is not a relationship at all.
I know areosmith, phish and the Dave Mathews band gave fan club members dibs on good tickets, though this was year ago. My friend was a huge phish fan and he’d always get a bunch of new years tickets in the 90s.
This already happens. Most artists I listen to have a mailing list presale, then a spotify / promoter / venue presale, and finally the open sale in that order.
