Could Local Sports Clubs Earn Additional Revenue Through Live VR?

Live VR could create a new ticket option for supporters who cannot attend a club event. Whether it produces useful additional income depends on the audience, the work involved and the costs of delivering an experience people want to watch.

A club should begin with demand rather than a large sales target. Ask supporters what they would watch, whether they have a compatible headset and what makes the proposed viewpoint worthwhile.

Build a practical event budget

List the equipment, connection, staffing and promotion required. Include any relevant platform charges and the arrangements needed to obtain permission to broadcast. A sponsor contribution may help, but it should not be assumed until agreed.

Compare those requirements with realistic booking scenarios. Selling a small number of tickets can still be useful if the event is manageable; a technically ambitious production may need a much stronger audience.

Measure more than the ticket total

After a pilot, ask whether viewers could join successfully, follow the activity and enjoy the experience. Their willingness to return will matter if the club wants a continuing programme.

OowOah Live VR could support discussion of an authorised event, while the club decides its commercial approach. The opportunity is additional reach and a possible revenue stream. It is not a guarantee of profit, and it should be assessed alongside the club’s other ways of engaging and funding its community.
