No. Afton TV pays for all audio & video production costs. There are no costs or financial risk to the artist.
The 72 hour viewing window allows customers to access the show over the next 1-3 days after the event. This prevents fans who have problems with their connection or their device from expecting refunds, since they can re- attempt later from a different location or device.
Legal research has shown that normally, a label contract does not control the live performance of an artist or live stream. Usually the label only has rights to after-the-fact recorded music or DVD sales. The management will know what type of label contracts are in place, and will need to verify any restrictions that exist so we can broadcast the show.
Afton TV takes care of everything from start to finish - from the HD video and pro audio mix, to the e-commerce and customer support - all at no cost to the artist. The HD concert live stream monetizes your artist's worldwide fan base in one night, and offers an amazing experience for fans, that they can't find anywhere else. Your artist gets a profit-share on every broadcast ticket sold, on top of their normal guarantee and backend split for the show. With no extra work, they can multiply the profit they make from an already scheduled tour stop.
Afton TV can work directly with the artist management, if the promoter or booking agent do not want to deal with any of the HD broadcast details. If you have any questions, please contact us.
