Arts People 2026: Benefits, Features & Pricing

Ticketing system was set up in 2-3 days by the Arts People tech team, and they provided ongoing support throughout the process as I learned how to navigate and customize the system. The amazing customer service allowed me to open ticket sales (and bring in revenue) while I was getting up to speed.

We have been with Arts people since before Neon One purchased them. We have enjoyed using the system.

When we first contracted with Arts People (around 2017), the customer service and costs were very useful for our operations. We were assigned a specific support person, but by the second year we had it, we had randomly assigned support. The software remained stagnant as the support became less reliable; then, when Neon One acquired Arts People the fees increased without any improvements to the software or customer service. I appreciated their arts-focused service in the beginning, but I chose to leave because it felt as though the customers had become an afterthought.

Overall, ArtsPeople is a very intuitive software with lots of friendly, reliable, and helpful staff to help fill in any gaps with the software itself. They're always open to suggestions on improving their product; and any of their flaws pale in comparison to their many virtues, which have proven extremely helpful during the last two seasons of unprecedented shifts in programming.

I had high hopes for using this software, and it has the capacity to do exactly what we had hoped. Unfortunately, the extremely unprofessional support and administration of this company make them their own worst enemy. From simple billing practices to tasks like checking their mail to receive checks, it is just maddening. Small Arts non-profits need a ticketing/donor management service just like this one. Unfortunately, all the aggravation is not worth the savings.

I did extensive research into ticketing companies, and decided Arts People was the one to try. And we've stayed, for five years now, with no plans to change. Occasionally another ticketing company will contact me, and I'll compare costs. Arts People is lower or about the same. Those with higher costs try to tell me about their more expansive services - and I don't use them or need them. Arts People is right for me and my venue.

Finding the right ticketing and patron management software for our Canadian medium size non-profit Theatre Woodstock in Ontario was a challenge! So much choice, but how to drill down to the essentials? After extensive research and review of their pressure-free demo, we chose Arts-People and we knew we had chosen well, but every day we realize we didn't know how well! The depth, range, and options from do-it-yourself implementation to full support is simply amazing. And fun too!! We love Arts-People and you will too!! We had finalized on three vendors, a large high-end full featured system focused on commercial theatres, a local, newer fully Canadian system, and Arts-People which had been recommended to us. All of the features of the high-end system at half the cost and with fees in Canadian dollars, we saved currently wicked exchange rates. With over 800 clients, primarily in the United States and Canada, and over ten years development, the system is sophisticated, full bodied, and comprehensive for real-time, online ticket and subscription sales, while being simple enough to be fully DIY, Do It Yourself, user enabled. The range of payment features include PayPal which customers really appreciate. The system is extremely well documented with in-depth, easy to navigate help resources, user forum, and 24/7 expertise. The real joy however is the staff, a close knit, thespian loving group of experts, truly arts people, ready, willing, and able to make you a success. And that's what it's all about, isn't it! Being a Success!! As we develop our own sophistication in marketing, fundraising, and patron management and satisfaction, Arts-People will be with us every step of the way, providing long-term, ever expanding solutions. We chose better than we knew!!

We love this system and will never use another ticketing system.
