Stageit is a web-based performance venue headquartered in Hollywood, California. It hosts paid performances by musical artists who perform live via webcam. Artists choose when they want to perform, for how long, and how much they want to charge. The performances are not archived or duplicated for distribution.

Stageit currency

In order to purchase tickets to Stageit performances, or to tip, users must first purchase Stageit's currency, called "notes." One Stageit "note" is equivalent to ten cents. The performing artist decides how many notes a performance will cost.Staff, The Comet (2010-12-05)

Live performances

Once a user purchases a ticket to a Stageit performance, they can join other audience members awaiting showtime in an online chat, which continues during the performance itself. Performances on Stageit last for up to thirty minutes. At the end of that time, artists are given the option to perform an additional twenty-minute encore set.
