Frequently asked questions

Can’t find what you’re looking for?

Nope! Ludus is contract-free with no setup fees. You can start whenever you're ready—and leave if you ever need to (though most don’t).

Our thought is we'd rather keep customers because they love our product and service, not because they're locked into a contract.

5% + $0.75/ticket when a patron pays using a card. This fee includes credit card processing costs, so there are no additional payment processing fees deducted.

For example, on a $10 ticket, the patrons pays $11.25, Ludus takes the $1.25 to cover card processing and you receive the full $10. (You can also choose to absorb the fees instead of passing onto your patron.)

No fees on cash, comp, or free tickets. And no setup costs, annual fees, or hidden charges.

Learn more about pricing here

Absolutely! Ludus also handles donations, volunteers, concessions, email marketing, payment forms, CRM, and more—no need for extra systems or logins.

Majority of Ludus customers use 2+ additional features beyond ticketing, saving time and money.

Yes—every time. Our customer guarantee is there is always a human there for you when it matters, whether while you're actively using Ludus throughout the day or 10 minutes before your event.

Our average response time is under 3 minutes!
