Event ticketing & video streaming
From on-sale spike to gate scan to live stream — one platform, built for event night.
/ The problem
Event platforms are traffic-spike machines: weeks of quiet, then thousands of buyers in the first hour of on-sale and everyone at the gate in the same twenty minutes. A platform sized for the average day falls over on the only day that matters.
Streaming adds a second hard problem — paid access control on live video, where every failure is happening live, in front of a paying audience, with no second take.
/ How we deliver
Our ticketing stack — proven in production on our own events platform — handles inventory holds under concurrency, M-Pesa and card checkout, QR ticket issuance, and offline-capable gate validation apps that keep scanning when venue connectivity dies.
For streaming we run pay-per-view and subscription access on top of adaptive HLS delivery, with tokenised playback URLs so paid links can’t simply be forwarded. Ticket buyers can be granted stream access automatically — one purchase, both experiences.
/ What we build with it
Concerts & festivals
Tiered tickets, on-sale spikes, and gate scanning that keeps moving when venue Wi-Fi dies.
Conferences & expos
Registration, badge validation, and session check-ins on one platform.
Pay-per-view events
Stream sales with tokenised playback, so a paid link can’t just be forwarded.
Hybrid events
One purchase covers the seat and the stream — ticket buyers get access automatically.

/ Common questions
Can we white-label the platform?
Yes — our ticketing stack is available as a white-label deployment under your brand and domain, or we integrate ticketing into your existing site.
What happens if the internet fails at the gate?
Validation apps hold a signed local copy of the ticket manifest, keep scanning offline, and reconcile when connectivity returns — double-entry attempts are caught either way.
How many concurrent viewers can a stream take?
Delivery rides on CDN-backed HLS, so capacity scales with the CDN rather than a single server — tens of thousands of concurrent viewers is routine.
