Best in show

Give your fans the best seat in their house.

Ballyhoo is digital ticketing built for project-based creators — interactive multi-angle playback your fans can’t get anywhere else, preorders from the moment you announce, and a fan relationship you actually own.

Features

Built by creators, for creators.

Ballyhoo is a purpose-built home for eventized video — from the ticket to the player to the upsell.

PPV streaming rental video

Eventized video rentals, built for creators. Sell time-boxed access to your filmed show — a real ticket to a real event, not a file dumped in a download folder.

Built for engaged audiences

Your superfans want more than a stream. Ballyhoo is designed for the people who show up first, buy the bundle, and come back for the details.

Interactive features

Multi-angle playback and one-tap commentary your fans can’t get anywhere else. The show becomes something to explore — and a reason to watch it more than once.

Enhanced monetization

Preorders from announcement day, rental extensions, interactive upsells, and merch at checkout — more revenue from every fan who already said yes.

Streaming

The only thing that drops is the curtain.

Ballyhoo runs on the same rock-solid video delivery backend trusted by Shopify, Patreon, Dropbox, Bandcamp, Paramount, Fox, and more — so your premiere holds up when everyone shows up at once.

Interactive

Don’t miss a beat.

Tap between camera angles mid-number and the music never stops — only the view changes. It’s the closest thing to choosing your own seat, shot by shot.

Commentary

Hear it straight from the cast.

The same switching that powers camera angles carries a commentary mix — your cast and creative team over the show, one tap away. Fans watch once for the show and again for the BTS stories.

Demo

Choose your own adventure.

Take the player for a spin. Pick a show, press play, and start switching — the music never misses a beat.

Monetization

More per fan — not just more fans.

A ticket is the beginning of the order, not the end of it. Ballyhoo is built to grow the value of every fan who already said yes.

Preorders

Sell the moment you announce. Announcement day is your biggest attention spike — months before most platforms let anyone pay you. Preorders capture demand at its peak instead of hoping fans remember on release day.

Rental extensions

Rental about to expire mid-binge? One tap extends it. You keep 70% of every extension — and fans pay no service fee on it.

Interactive upsell

Sell the standard ticket, upsell the multi-angle + commentary edition. Two price points, one production.

Merch bundles at checkout

Add the poster, the cast album, the signed thing. Order bumps convert at 30–40% and lift average order value by ~31% (SamCart, across $7B in transactions).

Pricing & comparison

Built for shows, not just files.

No monthly minimums or subscriptions. Fans pay a small service charge, and you only pay for tickets you sell.
