Now, Spotify says it\u2019s launching a new program aimed at easing that problem for superfans of select artists.<\/p>

The streaming giant announced the launch of \u201cReserved,\u201d which identifies an artist\u2019s most engaged listeners and reserves two seats for them at a show.<\/p>

Spotify already offers presale access for fans of some top-streamed artists, but these tickets would be set aside for specific users rather than simply granting access to a presale queue.<\/p>

\u201cWe\u2019ll identify real fans based on factors like streams, shares, and other Spotify activity, and will also monitor the activity of Premium users to ensure these are real human fans and not bots,\u201d the platform said Thursday. <\/p>

Spotify says it it won\u2019t be adding any fees for its platform and the identified users will have a full day to buy the seats reserved for them.<\/p>
