  • Spotify Premium Now HALF-PRICE!

    Posted on October 21st, 2009 BarneyC Comments

    Only a couple of weeks ago I posed the question on Twitter “would Spotify double uptake if they halved the price?” To which, of course the answer was no, and it was pointed out quite clearly.

    Last week we had confirmation from 3UK that they would be releasing the HTC Hero with Spotify Premium baked in next month and hey guess what I’ve just had in my inbox…

    HalfPriceSpotify

    Now I am really really tempted.  Having bought 5 or 6 albums in the last month alone at £4.99 a month with offline cache the Spotify model is starting to look attractive.

    UPDATE (17:50):  Having just dry run the offer it looks like it is a one-time-use discount code so it is entirely possible the offer is only being made to i) existing Spotify users and ii) even that group may be in some way limited.  Let me know if you had the offer.

      they'd get me at fiver level - not at £10 tho ... tad too steep for their core customers surely ?
    • It's a conversation I've had a great many times with mobile people around the UK over the last few months. When you can buy digital albums from as little as £1.99 on Amazon, the £10 a month subscription is just too much; most people just don't consume that much new music in a month.

      But for sure at the £5 price point it is affordable to the point of "why not?" Indeed I haven't even used my account in a month as I've been at home pretty well full time so no need for cached/offline music and at £5 I don't really care. At a tenner I would probably have cancelled.
