Spotify, AEG, and Sabrina Carpenter Team Up to Give Fans Exclusive Ticket Access To Her Upcoming Tour

June 20, 2024

Sabrina Carpenter is officially having a moment. From her game-changing Coachella set in April to her smash “Please Please Please” that sits atop Spotify’s Top 50 Global Songs chart only to be followed by the sensationa “Espresso” at number two, it’s safe to say that this is shaping up to be the Summer of Sabrina. Her forthcoming album, Short N’ Sweet, meanwhile, is set to be released on August 23.

Now she’s ready to hit the road. And today, Spotify is announcing a first-of-its-kind partnership with Sabrina and AEG to give exclusive ticket access to top fans ahead of her trek supporting Short N’ Sweet. The tour kicks off on September 23 in Columbus.

Here’s how it works: At each of Sabrina’s U.S. shows, we’ve created a Spotify Top Listener Pit for top fans. Fans can purchase those tickets via an exclusive presale code provided by Fans First Front Row—a brand new ticketing offer available through Spotify. Shortly after the Fans First Front Row sale, we’ll launch a Spotify Fans First presale where fans can purchase tickets throughout the venue.

In addition to the presale tickets, we’re launching the official Sabrina on Tour playlist, curated by Sabrina herself, full of catalog hits, her inspirations, and maybe a couple easter eggs!

Since 2018, Spotify’s Fans First has tapped Spotify’s data to connect an artists’ most passionate fans with exclusive offers like advance access to concert tickets, unique merch, and invite-only events. 

Fans can expect more ways to connect with their favorite artists—including Sabrina—through upcoming special offers and opportunities on Spotify. And don’t forget to pre-save Short N’ Sweet.
