Delivers an ‘Arena Style’ LiveXLive Performance to Fans Worldwide at Home During COVID-19

LiveXLive Media, Inc., a global platform for livestream and on-demand audio, video and podcast content in music, comedy and pop culture, announced that since launching its livestream Pay-Per-View (PPV) and digital touring platform in May 2020, LiveXLive has sold over 32,000 PPV tickets in over 96 countries at an average price of $27, generating over $850,000 in ticket sales.

LiveXLive PPV initiative was created as a revenue-share model to support artists while concerts and touring are at a standstill during COVID-19. LiveXLive’s PPV platform allows artists to go direct-to-fans and perform full length concerts with unique behind the scenes footage, docureality-style coverage coupled with premium tiered ticket pricing, including VIP experiences, exclusive merchandise, digital meet-and-greets, and other event-exclusive perks.
