The company said as part of the partnership it will give promoters and artists the option to use a ticketed paywall with passwords that will be linked to a customer’s IP address.
Festicket and Event Genius marketing director Luis Sousa said, “After initial success with the Festicket Live product, it felt like a natural move to partner with one of live streaming’s major players in Clubbing TV to offer onsite live stream production and delivery.”

Clubbing TV CEO and founder Stephane Schweitzer said, “It is a logical evolution for Clubbing TV and for our live streaming platform to be able to offer to festivals, clubs and promoters a turnkey solution to reach their fans and provide entertainment anywhere in the world, especially during the pandemic while travel conditions and capacities of events are reduced.”
