Is there a contract or startup fee to use Ludus?
Nope! Ludus doesn’t require a contract, and there are no setup fees. If your organization needs a contract, we’ll provide one. Otherwise, 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.
What are the fees, and who pays them?
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 patron 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.

Can I use Ludus for more than just ticketing?
Absolutely! Ludus also handles donations, volunteers, concessions, marketing, payment forms, CRM, and more—no need for extra systems or logins.
A majority of Ludus customers use 2+ additional features beyond ticketing, saving time and money.
Will I be able to talk to a real person for support?
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!
Get in touch via live chat, email, or phone. We also have 500+ help resources at support.ludus.com.
How long does it take to get started?
You can start today. Some groups are live in under an hour, but we’ll go at your pace. We’ll help import your data, including attendance and donation history, and get you set up right.
Who is Ludus built for?
Ludus is built for performing arts organizations. That includes community and regional theatres, K-12 schools, colleges and universities, music ensembles, dance programs, performing arts centers, and independent venues.
Does Ludus support reserved seating?
Yes. Ludus supports both reserved seating and general admission. Our team will build your seating chart for free, so it's ready when tickets go on sale.
Can I sell tickets at the door?
Yes. Use the Ludus box office for walk-up sales and accept card payments with On-Device Tap to Pay. The same setup works for concessions and merchandise.
Can I switch to Ludus in the middle of a season?
Yes. You can switch at any point in your season. We'll import your patron and donation history, build your seating charts for free, and help make sure you are ready to sell tickets.
