Paid Livestream Tickets: The 2026 Guide
Selling tickets to a live stream used to be a nightmare. Streamers had to stitch together OBS, Twitch, Eventbrite, Stripe, and an access-control workaround. Wallies makes the whole thing native: set a price, go live, get paid.
Why creators want paid livestreams
- Higher revenue per fan — Ticketed shows convert engaged fans into real revenue
- Premium experiences — Q&As, performances, classes — gated by ticket
- Predictable income — Pre-sold tickets are cash before you go live
How Wallies handles it natively
- Set a ticket price in ILY when you create the stream
- Viewers buy access in one tap before the show starts
- Live chat, gifts, and tips run in real time during the stream
- Tickets can be resold on the secondary market
- Promotion campaigns to boost discovery for ticketed shows
- Cashable in ILY at 100 ILY = $1
The honest math
On Twitch, a ticketed show requires three external tools and pays after fees. On Wallies, sell 100 tickets at 500 ILY ($5) each = 50,000 ILY. You keep 35,000 ILY = $350. Same show, simpler stack, more take-home.
