SINGLE SOURCE
While the 'Reserved' feature is corroborated, the specific detail about using 'streams, shares and other activity' to identify fans and hold 'two tickets' is mentioned in one search result snippet, but the other provided evidence for this specific claim (Spotify official site/login) is generic and does not confirm the mechanism.

“Fans selected through "Reserved" will get up to two tickets and have a dedicated window — typically around a day — to make their purchase.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The evidence provided for this claim is largely irrelevant (Wikipedia entries on Apple, SoundCloud, etc.) or generic. Only the general mention of 'two tickets' in the first set of search results supports the ticket count, but the 'one day window' is not corroborated by the provided evidence.
