Technology shouldn’t have a shelf life

For years, many theaters and performing arts organizations have relied on Tessitura to sell tickets and manage audience relationships. But as technology and patron expectations continue to evolve, some organizations are questioning whether it’s still the right fit for what comes next.

Periodic major upgrades, along with ongoing updates in between, can represent a significant investment of time and resources. With v16 expected to become required by December 2027, many Tessitura organizations are carefully weighing the cost, the transition effort, and the experiences shared by early adopters. 

Since Spektrix arrived in the US and Canada in 2014, hundreds of arts and culture leaders have seen the benefits of a more robust, reliable, and contemporary system.

Built for stability and innovation, Spektrix sets new standards for scale, reliability, security, and instant updates - with modern, intuitive features and expert support to help you maximize every penny of value.

The Spektrix solution

Data-driven communications to meet every audience need 

“I thought we were pretty good at segmentation before. But actually, we're pulling more and deeper kinds of segments. It has really helped us tailor our communications and get better ROI."

“In a lot of systems, the backend that box office teams see is very basic, not very readable. In Spektrix what the team sees is just as good as the interface that customers see elsewhere. It’s very logical, it does a lot of the work for you - coming in and taking over a box office, I’ve found it easy to pick up.”
