What our partners say

Executive Director, The Phipps Center for the Arts

"Until we used Ludus, we were having to cobble together many different systems to accomplish our goals: Sign Up Genius, Constant Contact, our ticketing solution and CRM. It was a mess. With Ludus, we can put all of this under one umbrella, which makes life much easier."

"The best part is it's easy for your audience to use. I expected complaints when we made the switch to Ludus—but instead, I got zero issues. Our patrons got it right away. Plus, I love the customizable splash page. It was a low-stress transition from start to finish."

Built with venues like yours in mind

Ludus wasn’t adapted from sports ticketing or business event software—it was created to meet the everyday demands of live performance venues and performing arts centers.
