Ticketopolis launches live streaming and on-demand video, powered by dailymotion

Ticketopolis now supports live streaming and video on demand for virtual and hybrid events, through a new integration with Dailymotion, and it comes at no additional cost to organizers.

One platform, from ticket sale to the broadcast itself

Until now, organizers running a virtual or hybrid event often had to stitch together a ticketing platform and a separate streaming service, then figure out how to keep the two in sync. With this integration, that gap closes: an organizer sets up their event on Ticketopolis, sells tickets the same way they always have, and the same platform hosts the live broadcast, in Full HD, with the signal restricted to whoever actually purchased a ticket. Once an event ends, that same stream can remain available as video on demand, so attendees who couldn't make the live session (or who simply want to watch it again) still get access.

How organizers get set up

Setting up a stream works the same way it does with any standard live streaming service: Ticketopolis provides a dedicated streaming server and a unique stream key for the event, ready to plug into whatever broadcasting software or hardware the organizer already uses. There's no new workflow to learn: just a server and key, same as organizers running virtual events are already used to configuring elsewhere.

No additional cost, here's how that works

Adding streaming to an event doesn't come with an extra line-item cost. Instead, it's subsidized by a short advertisement that plays when an attendee joins the broadcast, similar to how ad-supported video works elsewhere, but scoped narrowly to the moment someone joins rather than interrupting the event itself. Organizers on the Premium plan have the option to remove that ad entirely, for events where an uninterrupted, fully branded experience matters more.

Built for events, not just video

Because the stream lives inside the same event page attendees already bought their ticket through, it's built around what an event actually needs rather than being a generic video player bolted on. Access stays tied to the purchase: a ticket unlocks the stream for the person who bought it, without the signal getting passed around or reused across multiple devices, so the same protections organizers rely on for in-person check-in carry over to a virtual audience.

Who this is for

This is aimed squarely at organizers running virtual and hybrid events: conferences with a remote track, festivals streaming a stage to people who can't attend in person, webinars, and any event where part of the audience is joining from somewhere other than the venue. For hybrid events specifically, it means one ticket type and one platform can serve both the in-person and the remote audience, rather than running two separate systems side by side.

Available now

Live streaming and on-demand video are available today for any event on Ticketopolis, at no additional cost beyond the short join-time ad or with that ad removed entirely on Premium. Sign up free and add a live stream to your next event alongside your regular ticket sales.

Find it. Book it. Live it. Wherever there happens to be.

Democratizing knowledge, making sports more accessible, and bringing the arts closer

We’re often asked why we decided to build a system like Ticketopolis. What many people don’t know is that we started in 2002 as an agency that developed technology-driven marketing strategies, or, depending on how you looked at it, a software development company built on marketing principles. Our mission was simple: “Help your business grow.” We wanted to have a positive impact on the growth and development of our society.

Our event registration system, as it was called back then, was probably the third or fourth system we ever developed. The first event we supported was a conference for Tecnológico de Monterrey called “Adictos a la Publicidad” (Advertising Addicts), held in August 2003.

From there, we went on to support many more events, including numerous events organized by students and nonprofit organizations. Often, they had to work with very limited time, budgets, or resources. And yet, we saw firsthand how their hard work and dedication allowed them to create meaningful events that made a difference in their communities.

Over time, we began to see a common thread among all these events: they contributed to the growth and development of society. We witnessed how attending these kinds of events could change people’s lives. That’s when we realized that the work we were doing could be a tool for democratizing access to knowledge, making sports more accessible, bringing people closer to the arts, and much more. We realized that, from our corner of the world, we could contribute to society and help drive positive change.

That realization inspired us to make professional tools available to everyone: tools that had previously been accessible only to large companies. Tools that could make event organization easier, help activate local economies, and support the growth of communities.

Through Ticketopolis, its technology, and our experience, we could continue making a positive impact on society, this time, on a global scale.

And our work isn’t finished. Along with continuing to add new features and improvements to Ticketopolis, we have three projects in the works that are much more focused on education, all with the same goal: to democratize knowledge and help it reach more people.

Follow us and be among the first to hear about these new projects. There’s a very good chance you’ll be able to be part of them, too.
