Are these given out at a certain time of the year, or throughout the year as concerts are approaching?

Hey @AdLadz good question, these are throughout the year as concerts are approaching. 

This doesn't seem fair! I am a premium member and listen to spotify for most of the day (with a range of maybe 50 artists) and I have never receieved a presale code for any of them! How "special" of a member do you have to be??

I agree, I listen to a whole bunch of artists all day long and I am also a premium member. They would not provide me a presale code because "I dont listen to the artists music enough". I dont get it.

I'm honestly pretty upset I haven't received a presale code for Shelter Live Tour, your own data should suggest that I should be more than eligible for that as Porter Robinson and Madeon are two of my all time favorite musicians. Strongly considering ending my premium membership if I'm unable to gain access.

Hello, I just wanted to know if the email would be through Spotify because I'm unsuscribed and most of my mail go to junk and is deleted within 24 hrs...

 

Thank you,

Hi im dying for porter and madeon tickets in vancouver on december 6/7!!!

 

thanks, benita

What do you do when your third party partner for the pre sale offer has a broken page leading to final purchase and effectively nullifies the offer? Who is responsible?

Are the pre-sale concert tickets only apply in the United States or to any concert around the world? I live back in forth between Australia & the Philippines. 

 

Thanks!

I agree when you pay extra to be a premium member and listen to Spotify daily then you should be able to get the presale password. This is very unfair. I love the Red Hot Chili Peppers and was wanting to get the presale on these tickets in New Orleans.

 

Do you have to purchase with the code on a device you are logged into Spotify on?

Boooooo, I don't stream red hot chilli peppers because I have their actual CDs and want to save more of my limited hard drive space for other/new music?!?! Pleaaaaase I need a presale code for the presale tomorrow morning for Red Hot Chilli Peppers at the ACC Feb 4th?!?! Been wanting to see them since I was young and missed the 2012 show! I don't wanna miss out on tickets!!!!! Pleeeease help me Spotify!

Woah. Nice! Any chance there will be Seether tickets any time soon? 😄

I went on right when the presale started and there were no tickets left so you didn't miss much.  I'm not sure how this happens, but what a let down.

 

Wow... thanks for nothing Spotify.  Maybe think through where you get profit margin (um, infrequent utilizers who subscribe) and adjust your algorithm to presale tickets.

 

Btw, if your company knew squat about predictive models, you'd have known I'd want these tickets and would have locked me into a much longer term deal with your now-rather-obsolete music streaming service.

Hi There! I would like to have a Presale code for a Red hot chili peper concert! Help me out!!
