A New Ticketing Experience

Phase One is Complete - Hands On Tickets is Now Live!

We’re excited to share that Hands On has officially launched Ludus for all ticketing. This upgrade is designed to make your experience smoother, simpler, and more accessible—while giving our team the tools we need to serve you even better.

This is a significant change behind the scenes, but our goal is for it to feel easy and intuitive for you.

What’s New Right Now

✨ A Simpler Ticket‑Buying Experience

  • No passwords required to purchase tickets
  • A clean, mobile‑friendly checkout
  • Faster, more secure payment processing
  • Clearer, more streamlined purchase receipts
    • Ticket receipts now come from orders@ludus.com

🪪 (Coming Soon) Pass Holders & Individual Donor Benefits

Soon, Hands On will be introducing special “passes” for our generous Individual Donors who contribute $500 or more. These passes make it even simpler to enjoy your benefits! Linked to your email, you can easily redeem them during checkout, and they’re all conveniently available on your My Account page. Each pass features personalized codes to keep everything secure. Keep an eye out for an email in the New Year with details on how to access your perks. If you have any questions about your pass or donor level, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at info@handson.org. We’re always happy to assist!

What’s Coming Next
