You need a screen with internet access and chances are if you're reading this then you've already got that! You buy a ticket as normal. Half an hour or so before the show we send you an email with a link to the private show on YouTube. You click on the link and before you know it you're enjoying a live event! The ticket will give access for one device. More than one person can watch one device - feel free to be honest and ethically superior by buying one ticket per person. Artists and venues need your support! What's the quality like? See for yourself! Portico's ability to livestream concerts has been made possible by funding from Ards and North Down Borough Council,  the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, the Community Foundation for Northern Ireland and the Department for Communities.
