Pay-per-view and ticketing for pro wrestling promotions
An independent wrestling show has three audiences: the people in the building, the fans who cannot make it, and everyone who wants to watch it later. AVP.Live gives all three the same page, so one link on your flyer and your socials sells the ticket, plays the stream and sells the replay.
What one event page does
You open a free account, build the event in a few minutes, and share the link. From then on that page does the selling.
- Sells tickets for the building (general admission and VIP) and a livestream from the same page. Fans pay by card and need no account.
- Plays the livestream to ticket holders in a browser, on a phone, tablet, computer or TV.
- Shows your match card. Paste the lineup one match per line and change it as the card changes.
- Puts the replay on sale after the show, at its own price if you want one.
- Scans tickets at the door on a volunteer's own phone.
A match card, not a fight card
Pro wrestling is not treated as a combat sport here. The card is a Match card, and the page carries the neutral line about matchups and results instead of the fight-sports wording about bouts and sanctioning bodies.
Your old shows can earn too
If your back catalogue lives on YouTube, keep it there. Paste a YouTube or Vimeo link into an event and it plays on the event page for everyone, with no ticket needed. Put last year's shows on the page for free, and sell the next one.
Let your wrestlers sell
Give each wrestler a code. Buyers type it at checkout, and your dashboard shows how many tickets each code sold. A discount is optional: set it to zero and the code only tracks.
What it costs
Ticket sales are paid into your own Stripe account. The service fee is 12% of the ticket price on livestream and replay tickets and 5% on in-person tickets, plus card processing. Your buyers pay it on top by default, or you can choose to absorb it. There is no monthly fee.
The numbers are on the pricing page, and the calculator shows what a show could bring in.

Questions
- Can I keep putting my shows on YouTube?
- Yes. Our terms carry no exclusivity clause, so you can post your shows anywhere else too. You can also paste a YouTube or Vimeo link into an event and it plays on the event page for everyone, with no ticket needed, which suits older shows.
- Do I have to sell tickets for the building?
- No. An event can sell only a livestream, only in-person tickets, or both from the same page.
- Does my match card have to be final before I publish?
- No. Paste what you have, publish, and edit the card as it changes. You can also publish with no card and add it later.
- What do I need to stream a show?
- To stream you need a camera, a computer running OBS (free) or vMix, and a wired internet connection with steady upload speed. Test from the venue before show day: the help guides walk through it.
- How do fans get in?
- They pay by card with no account and get their ticket by email. For the stream they open the link in that email on a phone, tablet, computer or TV browser.
