Stand-up Polska and what live comedy asks of ticketing

Stand-up Polska and what live comedy asks of ticketing

For operators running a busy calendar, the main test for a ticketing platform could be how well it handles a steady run of small on-sales.

  • 01For operators running a dense live comedy calendar, ticketing is about keeping up with new dates.
  • 02A ticketing deal counted in events describes how much work the platform does. It doesn't describe revenue: hundreds of club dates can sell fewer seats than a few arena nights.
  • 03When audiences discover a comedian online first, ticketing is the last step into a seat.

GameChanger adds tiered scorekeeping, highlight pages and club messaging for basketball

GameChanger adds tiered scorekeeping, highlight pages and club messaging for basketball

Clubs using GameChanger get a messaging tool that reaches all their teams at once.

  • 01The minimum stat effort is now just score and clock, which could mean more games get covered, though anything beyond the score still depends on a person until automatic stat capture arrives.
  • 02The milestone to watch is fully automatic stat tracking inside AutoStream. Once that works, nobody would need to sit at the scorer's table to get a box score on a streamed game.

The NHL's new production operation will serve six teams ahead of U.S. rights talks

The NHL's new production operation will serve six teams ahead of U.S. rights talks

The NHL is debuting its own centralized production operation that will serve six teams this season, according to Sports Business Journal. The distribution agreements it negotiated for those clubs all include streaming via Amazon's Prime Video. Its growing local role could give the league more options for packaging national and local rights once exclusive U.S. talks with ESPN and TNT Sports open Jan. 1. Monday matinees for European prime time start Nov. 30.

  • 01When exclusive U.S. rights talks open Jan. 1, the NHL's new centralized production operation will already be serving six teams, and the distribution deals for those clubs all include streaming via Prime Video.
  • 02The NHL and NBA are taking two different routes into local media: the NHL lets each club pick its own distribution, while the NBA plans a single streaming hub for 2027-28, the final season of the NHL's current U.S. national deals.
  • 03Clubs asked to host a Monday afternoon game have one benchmark so far: a Nashville pilot that drew 17,300, slightly above the Predators' season average. That figure measures the crowd in the building, though, and says nothing about the European TV audience the games are built for.
