Looking for science center ticketing software? If your science center runs on Blackbaud Altru, you do not have to replace it. Social Good Software adds modern, on-brand timed ticketing on top of Altru, so general admission, planetarium and theater add-ons, and group field trips sell smoothly online and on-site while Altru stays the system of record.
What science centers need from ticketing software
Science Centers handle school field trips and camps midweek and families on weekends. Ticketing software has to keep up: timed capacity, member pricing at checkout, and a clean mobile experience, all reconciling to one record. Generic event-ticketing tools are not built for that, and replacing Altru is a costly project most science centers do not want.
Altru-native ticketing, not a rip-and-replace
Social Good Software runs timed-entry ticketing with a website calendar and an on-brand checkout directly on Altru. Orders, inventory, and members live in Altru while guests get a fast, modern purchase path. See how we serve science centers.
| Science Center ticketing need | How Social Good Software delivers (on Altru) |
|---|---|
| Timed and capacity-managed entry | Live capacity caps and date/time slots via Calendar Builder |
| On-brand mobile checkout | A checkout that looks like your site, tuned for phones |
| Member pricing | Member rates applied automatically from the Altru record |
| Planetarium and group field-trip tickets | Sold in the same flow, not a separate tool |
| System of record | Altru stays authoritative; no migration |
Signs you want Altru-native ticketing
If that is your science center, modernizing on Altru beats switching platforms.
