Scaling estimates need much more information than you're giving. Also, cloud-servers make any estimates fuzzy. The specific version of MySQL you're running, as well as how it is configured, can have impacts to how far you can go. The specific version of wordpress, and any plugins beyond liveblog in use on your event page, also impact how far you can go.

My gut says your environment is not beefy enough for this. But that's just my gut feel, based on what little information I have and an exceedingly loose understanding of how WP scales.
