Live
Arenacast
Your own pay-per-view streaming service: live events, tickets and replays on web, mobile and TV.
In short
Go live from OBS, sell tickets and subscriptions with Stripe, and every stream becomes a replay the moment it ends. Fans watch on the web, iPhone, Android, Android TV and Apple TV, under your name. Set up on your own AWS account in 15 days.
Your event, on every screen.
Your own pay-per-view service for leagues, promoters and venues. Go live tonight, sell the replay tomorrow.
What you get
Go live from OBS
Publishing an event creates its own low-latency streaming channel on AWS IVS. Paste the RTMPS link and key into OBS or any encoder.
Tickets, subscriptions or both
Sell a ticket per event, a recurring subscription, or let fans choose. Stripe pays straight into your account.
Promo codes and access rules
Percentage or flat promo codes with an end date. Each event can be public, private, for subscribers, for ticket holders, or both.
On demand when it ends
Every stream is recorded to Amazon S3 and the event switches to the replay automatically. Recorded events upload straight to S3 too.
Your own apps on every screen
Fans watch on the web, iPhone, Android, Android TV and Apple TV, under your name and colours.
Sign in on the TV with a code
The TV shows a code and a QR: fans type it on the web or scan it with the phone app. Cast from the phone with Chromecast or AirPlay.
One admin for every event
Live, upcoming and on-demand events, drafts, groups, categories, sponsors, payments and invoices in one place.
Protected, on your own AWS
Signed, expiring playback tokens so only paying viewers can watch. Set up on your own AWS and Stripe accounts: you pay AWS directly, fans pay you.

Good to know.
What's included?
Live streaming from OBS with a channel per event, tickets and subscriptions through Stripe, promo codes, replays on demand, apps for the web, iPhone, Android, Android TV and Apple TV, TV sign-in by code or QR, an organiser admin, and protected playback, set up on your own AWS account under your brand.
How much does it cost?
$10,000 for the first year, including the setup and the licence. From the second year the licence is $5,000 a year.
Who pays for hosting and streaming?
You do, directly: Arenacast runs on your own AWS account, so streaming and hosting are billed by AWS, not by us. Ticket and subscription payments go straight to your own Stripe account.
How long does it take?
15 days from the start of the project to a live service under your brand: web app, admin and streaming. App store review times are set by Apple and Google.
What do I need to stream?
OBS or any encoder that streams over RTMPS. Each event's admin page shows the link and key to paste in.
How is playback protected?
Playback uses signed, expiring tokens and the server checks each viewer's ticket or subscription, so a shared link stops working.
Which TVs does it support?
Android TV and Apple TV apps, plus casting from the phone with Chromecast on Android and AirPlay on iPhone.
Where does it come from?
Arenacast is built from a pay-per-view platform our team delivered and ran in production from 2021 to 2023 for an Australian motorsport streaming service. The screens on this page are a demo with fictitious events and viewers.
Who is it for?
Leagues, promoters and venues that want to sell their own events live and on demand, under their own name.
