Although all of Székely's audio recordings can be purchased with bitcoin – costing the equivalent of $5 – the comedian said on his website that payment for his Live at Madison Square Garden performance would be available from $1 to $85, giving consumers the option to set their own price within these parameters.

Fans wanting to download the shows can also pay via PayPal, Amazon or Dwolla.
