Live streaming: ticket it, stream it, keep the audience

Premieres, concerts, festivals, Q&As and pay-per-view events. You ticket the stream, you host it, and the money lands in your account in real time. The recording becomes video on demand the moment you stop.

Why it matters

What Live does for you

  • Ticketed, gated, direct

    A SmartLink in live mode. One paywall, one audience, and no third party ticketing tool taking a cut.

  • Low latency and resilient

    Sub three second latency with multi region redundancy. Playback adapts to the viewer connection.

  • Instant on demand archive

    The stream ends and the recording is ready to sell, so late buyers still convert.

Inside the feature

Running a live event

  1. 01

    Create the event

    Set the date, the tiers and the price. General, VIP and backstage all sit on one link.

  2. 02

    Sell the tickets

    Share the same link everywhere. Buyers pay and get access without leaving the page.

  3. 03

    Go live

    Stream from your own encoder, single camera or multi camera, with chat beside the player.

  4. 04

    Keep selling

    The archive publishes automatically, so the event keeps earning after the night itself.

A premiere you actually own

Streaming a premiere usually means three suppliers. One takes the ticket money, one hosts the stream, and a third holds the mailing list. Each takes a cut, and none of them hands back the audience at the end. Hiway does the whole job on one link.

Tiering is built in, so a single event can sell general admission, VIP and backstage passes at different prices. Early bird and flash pricing work the same way. Because the paywall is the one your catalogue already uses, a ticket buyer and a film buyer are the same record.

After the credits the value keeps compounding. The stream archives to video on demand automatically and sells on the same link. Everyone who bought a ticket sits in your CRM with what they paid and what they watched. You keep 90%, Hiway takes 10% of a pay-per-view sale, and plans start at £12 a month.

Questions

Live questions

Can I sell tickets to a live stream on Hiway?

Yes. A live event uses the same SmartLink paywall as your catalogue, with several ticket tiers on one link. You keep 90% of every ticket sold.

What is the latency on a Hiway live stream?

Under three seconds in normal conditions, with multi region redundancy behind it. Playback quality adapts to the viewer device and connection.

Is the live stream recorded?

Yes. The recording publishes as video on demand as soon as the stream ends. People who missed the event can still pay to watch.

Do I need separate ticketing software?

No. Ticketing runs inside Hiway on the same link that streams the event. There is no second tool and no second cut.
