Zoo Ticketing Software That Runs on Blackbaud Altru

July 14, 2026

Looking for zoo ticketing software? If your zoo 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 timed general admission, parking, and seasonal event tickets sell smoothly online and on-site while Altru stays the system of record.

What zoos need from ticketing software

Zoos handle all-day family visits, seasonal events, and weather-driven attendance. 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 zoos 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 zoos.
