Esports infrastructure company and tournament organizer Nerd Street Gamers announced a new subscription service called Nerd Street+ on Wednesday. The program will give users access to live and digital weekly competitions, discounts on entry to larger tournaments and camps, and a monthly allotment of “training time” at the company’s esports venues across the country.
In addition to Nerd Street’s own venues, the program will encompass partner venues such as Esports Stadium Arlington and HyperX Esports Arena Las Vegas.
The subscription service will cost $20 USD a month for in-person venue perks, while a digital-only option will be available for $5.
Nerd Street joins a growing number of esports entities looking to subscription and membership models to grow their revenue. Both Cloud9 and Envy recently rolled out their own membership programs which offer fans unique experiences.
Note: Nerd Street Gamers founder and CEO John Fazio will take part in the panel, “The Future of Esports Physical Venue Design,” at Esports Rising on Nov. 19. He’ll be joined by Populous Senior Principal Brian Mirakian and Esports Stadium Arlington President Jonathon Oudthone.
