B-Side Cast Turns a Booked Gig Into a Listening Pass
A live-music service lets bands sell paid passes to hear shows remotely, creating another revenue stream from performances already on the calendar.
Field notes
The proposed workflow uses a board feed, room microphones, an audio interface, and an internet-connected device rather than dedicated transmission hardware. A band can set a per-show price and distribute one QR code through physical and social channels. The site's sample calculation uses 40 shows, 25 passes per show, and a $5 price, while explicitly calling the pass count a placeholder that depends on audience draw, promotion, pricing, and audio quality.
