Factors Influencing Event Streaming Costs in Miami

Before we can determine the total cost to stream an event in Miami, we need to know details specific to the event. This is because, when you ask, “How much does it cost to stream an event in Miami?” We instantly think, “What kind of event, what size event, and how long?”

Several factors influence the cost of event streaming in Miami. Things like:

  • How long the event is.
  •  
  • How large the event is.
  •  
  • How big the event audience is.
  •  
  • How the event is broadcast.
  •  
  • What kind of expectations the client has for the event.
  •  
  • What size crew we’ll need for the event.

Large VS Small Scale

Each of these can influence the cost of streaming in Miami. A large event, with multiple crew members and extensive technology needs can cost significantly more than a small event.

In addition to the above factors, when you ask, “How much does it cost to stream an event in Miami,” we consider the crew size and needs.

An expert crew member can cost upwards of $250 per hour and that’s per crew member.

Live event streaming can require several crew members, each with an anticipated cost of between $100 and $250 per hour.

Additional crew costs can range as follows:

  • Director – up to $250 per hour
  •  
  • Camera Operator – up to $400 per hour
  •  
  • Equipment – up to $100s per hour
  •  
  • Narrator – up to $400 per hour
  •  
  • Switcher – up to $200 per hour
  •  
  • Streaming platform – $50 to $1,000 (depends on the platform and usage)
  •  
  • B-Roll – usually a percentage of the total cost between 10 and 50%
  •  
  • Miscellaneous Fees – very little or could be 1,000s

The Takeaway

At this time it’s also important to decide whether or not a broadcast engineer is going to be required for the Miami event stream.

The addition of a broadcast engineer ads value to the event but equally adds to the total cost of the event stream.

As you can see, when you ask, “How much does it cost to stream an event in Miami?” The answers can be endless depending on the individual details of the event itself.

Typical live streams range between about $1,000 and $5,000 for many types of single day events but depending on individual details the cost could be significantly more.
