Review comment (refactor):
almost everything on the site is PPV, so also check if logged-in users have paid/can view.
if user does not have tickets, redirect URL will be like https://vark-live.zaiko.io/_buy/1u0N:Rx:22e84
```suggestion
        webpage, urlh = self._download_webpage_handle(url, video_id)
        final_url = urlh.geturl()
        if 'zaiko.io/login' in final_url:
            self.raise_login_required()
        elif '/_buy/' in final_url:
            raise ExtractorError('Your account does not have tickets to this event', expected=True)
```
