Spotify is another entity dipping into the limited pool of available tickets and further limiting supply. I don't pay for/use Spotify and don't want to, so as far as I'm concerned this is only worsening the problem by further constraining the supply of tickets available to me.

Yeah, I’m not against the idea, but I don’t have a Spotify membership. They’re simply not my music vendor of choice.
Why should that lock me out of a reasonable reservation system?
We have a massive centralization problem in these industries and this doesn’t fix it.

They might limit supply early on but they also increase supply when they later sell the tickets, so the net effect on supply is zero (unless they leave many tickets unsold, which would be stupid of them).
