Live concerts on Spotify with virtual tickets

Spotify could explore offering live-streamed concerts with virtual tickets directly within Spotify.

For sold-out events or concerts taking place in other parts of the world, artists could choose to broadcast their live performances, using existing or outsourced streaming infrastructure. This would allow artists to reach a wider audience, generate additional revenue, and offer fans access to live music experiences they cannot attend in person.

Virtual tickets could be linked to a user’s Spotify account, ensuring controlled access, high-quality streaming, and a fair distribution of revenue to the artists.

Use cases could include:

• Watching a sold-out concert live from home
• Experiencing an opera from your living room, under a blanket, in great company, with a glass of wine
• Inviting close friends to watch a live concert at home, sharing the moment over a few beers

This approach would extend Spotify beyond music discovery into live cultural experiences, benefiting both artists and listeners.
