| Welcome!
Dear Member of MadStage,
If you find yourself here, exploring
ticketing options, it means you care about your
theatre, your festival, your performing arts
center, your art.
We are here to make the world better. It may
sound corny, but we're not ashamed of that. In
practice, it has been about hard work and
dedication.
Theatre, Dance, Music: these expressions of the
human spirit need support in our society. At
Ticket Turtle we make your lives easier by
making ticketing and record-keeping more
efficient. We also try to be ourselves! Ticket
Turtle is not a "corporate" type of
experience, but we are efficient,
courteous, and professional.
Our website is an expression of our company. Big
on content, low-key on marketing. We save money
that way and keep our prices low.
We'd love to talk to you about your theatre,
project, festival, marketing campaign,
concert...give us a call or drop us an email!

Who We Are |

Ness Blackbird
Software Designer & President |
"After many years as a systems
designer for nonprofits, I got very
excited about the idea of starting a
service which would help theatres. I
was never cut out to be a consultant
-- I'm no good at politics. So I
spent several years writing Ticket
Turtle, and I've been very lucky to
find the extraordinary people who
have helped me make this system into
a viable business -- the people
whose pictures appear on this page,
and others who have joined us over
the years. Thank you all!"

Spike (Patrick
Spike)
Director of Customer Relations |
"Ticket Turtle
is about powerful features,
incredibly affordable cost, and ease
of use for our customers. As a
former Director of Information
Technology for one of the biggest
theatres in the nation, and
conducting a search of every
possible ticketing system out there,
I'm STILL impressed by how
fluid and powerful Ticket Turtle is. I love
talking with organizations, helping
them achieve their goals, and
hearing them get so excited about
what the system can do for them...
often things they'd never even thought
of! It's great."

Jennifer Gaddy
Vice President of Sales |
"The perfect pair of jeans you get on sale,
a great book you read over and over, the corner cafe with fantastic burgers for cheap.
Ticket Turtle belongs on a list like this....
"

Bob Vinatieri
Sales |
"The
performing arts teach language,
communicate emotions, and explore
morality unlike any other medium. I
see my job at Ticket Turtle as
enhancing the financial health and
vitality of community arts groups
throughout North America."

Heather
Blackbird
Human Resources & Sales |
"We've put our brains, hearts, and
hair loss into Ticket Turtle.
Everyday, with every theatre that
joins us, I feel more energy knowing
that we're reaching the people we
intended to reach. Ticketing in the
Arts is one more place that can be
reclaimed from corporate nonsense,
and together, theatre by theatre,
festival by festival, performance by
performance, we'll do it!" |
