Facebook appears to be rolling out a new feature which will allow content creators and business Pages to charge a ‘ticket’ price to Live video events.

This upcoming plan was made known in a blog post on 24 April, when Facebook announced its new Messenger Rooms feature. In their post, Facebook wrote: “To support creators and small businesses, we plan to add the ability for Pages to charge for access to events with Live videos on Facebook – anything from online performances to classes to professional conferences.” See the full post here.

Further details on when this ‘online ticketing’ plan for live events will launch, how it will work, how it intends to pay its users, and what cut Facebook will take, have yet to be announced.

In the same post, the company announced a new donate button feature – which can now be added to live videos “wherever nonprofit fundraisers are available.”, as well as the ability for pages to mark their live events as “online only”.
