In times of Corona and not hosting real events, how do companies like Q etc or other event hosters gain money with free livestreams?! It's a hype, it's cool, but where is the revenue?
In my company we are selling online courses. Why is there no sign up fee for streams?!

Bookings were already made, i think they may have some agreements with venues/spots as it wasnt used the date they agreed to, so, even cancelled, they already invest in all this things, also tickets were already sold and are valid for the next date so they have the money to do all these things i guess

I mean.
-no problems as not much refunds were requested judging by what i saw in social media

-the contracts with the venue are just postponed so they dont have to pay again or make another agreement

-artist were already booked so just use that booking as a normal event and broadcast it

-Youtube ads are not so valuable but in this time of lockdown the CPM may be higher

-I think the number of people used for festivals/events are a lot higher than the 5 dudes that admin the streams, so no problem with paying the staff also

These are my thoughts, consider i know nothing about this and im just guessing but things may be a lot complex than what i tought

Probably they had previously stipulated insurance contracts for this kind of inconveniences, idk.

There's a looot of money in YouTube, especially if you have most of the rights for the music (which Q pretty much do)!

1 video with say 300k views can get you a few thousand £

Without sponsors, Youtube money is ridiculous, especially since a few years.. 300K views won’t even earn you 500€, without taxes.

i don't suppose there is a point in asking what happened to hws again, right?

Hmm, I disagree man, there's a lot of money with just ad revenue.
Especially with some channels getting millions of plays a week, they're earning one hell of a lot of money!

Lots of DJ's and producers are mostly playing classics, unfamiliar tunes or unreleased tracks on livestreams.

It's like they have to focus on quality when there are no gigs to play at?

Or they are just pleased that there is no that much pressure and demand for new music. Also there's a strong nostalgia factor.
But I hope for improvement in terms of "quality" on the long run
