(LONDON, UK) -- LiveFrom Media LTD, co-founded by Steve Machin and Alan Rakov, has launched its mobile app featuring revolutionary StreamingTickets(TM). The LiveFrom StreamingTicketTM is a completely new ticket type. Issued as a digital ticket into the LiveFrom app, the ticket becomes the stream when the live event starts.
The LiveFrom app, powered by FanDragon Technologies, the industry-leading Blockchain-secured ticket delivery solution, integrates the company’s artist-centric streaming service platform with a mobile-first experience that prioritizes ease of use for fans. The new app creates a powerful unified channel for secure streams, as well as tickets, vouchers and messaging. The innovative solution empowers artists, venues and promoters, as well as any ticket company, to create and deliver streaming strategies that deepen the relationship between artists and their audience, delight fans with custom content while providing a toolkit to organically grow the global fanbase.
“Alan and I came to streaming from the world of ticketing. As artist interest and fan demand started to explode, we instinctively recognized the live industry was going to quickly need a simple, yet secure, solution for monetizing and delivering high-quality streams beyond free-to-air channels,” Machin, LiveFrom co-founder said. “We are building a new suite of streaming commerce tools that unlock a whole new category of monetization that we are calling stream-commerce.”
“We view streaming as a fundamentally new element of the artist to fan relationship that will continue long after the return of live events. We think new content opportunities and formats are emerging, and with them new stream-commerce opportunities,” said Rakov, LiveFrom co-founder. “The ability to deliver access to a stream and/or an In Real Life (IRL) event through the same platform creates a whole new world of fan engagement for artists. We’re looking forward to bringing together a diverse group of partnerships and individual talents to fully realize the opportunity ahead of us.”
“With so many streaming options emerging, LiveFrom provided us with the most strategic streaming vision, helping us to understand how to really deliver for our artists. Working on the forthcoming stream for Deaf Havana with LiveFrom it’s become crystal clear that creative fan orientated streaming events can continue to play a part in connecting our artists to their fans, even in a post-COVID world.” said Angus Blue, of Riverman Management.
LiveFrom has streamed over 200 performances over the last three months —from Clutch to The Slackers, and to the Music Venue Trust to the Chillout Tent. Additionally, LiveFrom is supporting the Music Venues Trust Save our Venues campaign and was the streaming production partner of Save our Scottish Venues Festival headlined by K.T. Tunstall, Fatherson and Wet Wet Wet following a launch party with Fran Healy.
