How Ludus Compares
Ludus vs. SeatYourself
SeatYourself is showing its age. With limited tools and outdated design, it forces programs to do more work behind the scenes. Ludus offers a modern system that scales with you, built to support more than just ticket sales.
4 reasons organizations choose Ludus
💡 100% of organizations that demo with Ludus switching to Ludus for stronger tools, real-time support, and features that go beyond the basics.
1. Only handles ticketing.
- SeatYourself stops at ticket sales. If you want to manage more than tickets, you’ll need to piece it together elsewhere.
- Ludus gives you everything in one place—ticketing, volunteers, donations, concessions, patron data, fundraising campaigns, and even registration tools for classes or camps.
2. No customization or automation.
- SeatYourself offers very few options to personalize or automate your setup. Emails, checkout experience, and event settings are locked down or hard to change.
- Ludus puts you in control. Customize your show pages, emails, donation asks, and checkout flow. Add automations for ticket releases, group sales, or after-sale messaging, all without needing support to do it.
3. Outdated design, clunky admin tools.
- SeatYourself hasn’t evolved in years. Its interface feels dated, slow, and difficult to use.
- Ludus continues to evolve based on user feedback, offering a clean, modern dashboard that’s easy to use, even for new staff and volunteers, and fast for daily box office tasks.
4. No live support or real-time help.
- SeatYourself offers support by email and phone, but only during limited hours, with no real-time help when things go wrong.
- Ludus gives you fast, human support through live chat, phone, or email. Most questions are solved in under 3 minutes by a real person who knows your account.
