subscription

n. payment given for regularly scheduled performances or publications (i.e. magazine, concert series, etc.); endorsement, signing of one's name

The subscription business model is a business model that was pioneered by magazines and newspapers, but is now used by many businesses and websites. Rather than selling products individually, a subscription sells periodic (monthly or yearly or seasonal) use or access to a product or service, or, in the case of such non-profit organizations as opera companies or symphony orchestras, it sells tickets to the entire run of five to fifteen scheduled performances for an entire season.
