Turn your regulars into members — and keep every dollar.
Membership management built into your performing-arts ticketing. Sell tiers right inside checkout, apply benefits the moment someone joins, let renewals run themselves, and keep every member in your CRM — with no per-contact fee for the privilege.
ThunderTix is ticketing software for performing-arts venues with built-in membership management, CRM, and fundraising — sell tiered memberships, automate their benefits, and manage renewals without a separate system.
Membership management, built into your ticketing
Create as many tiers as you like — Friend, Patron, Benefactor, or whatever your program calls them. Set the price, the perks, and the discount for each. Patrons join in a few taps at checkout: no separate account, no third-party portal.
Newsletter, name in the program, 5% ticket discount.
15% off every ticket, 48-hour presale access, two free exchanges.
All Patron perks plus reserved parking, opening-night invites, and a tax receipt.
Assign real benefits to every level — ThunderTix fulfills them
Beyond a name and a discount, each tier can carry a mix of concrete perks. Assign a benefit once and ThunderTix issues and tracks it for every member of that level — automatically.
Route part of each membership fee straight to a designated fundraising campaign — logged against the campaign automatically.
Member-specific codes are auto-issued and apply themselves at checkout — nothing to hand out or reconcile.
Tote bags, t-shirts, mugs and more attach to the level and queue for pickup, member by member.
Bundle event access right into the membership — passes granted the moment someone joins.
Split any membership into a tax-deductible gift
Earmark part of any membership as a donation to a fundraising campaign you choose. On a $1,200 Patron Circle membership, you might route $300 to your Membership Donations campaign — the patron is recorded as a member and as a donor who gave $300 that day, and the campaign total updates on its own.
They also get a separate confirmation for the $300 gift — a standalone receipt they can use for tax purposes, where applicable — while your CRM keeps the membership and the donation together on one profile.
The right offer for the right level
You decide which membership levels earn a coupon — then make it anything you like: a standing 10% off any event all year, 25% off your annual fundraising gala, or two free seats to a members-and-donors-only season reveal party.
Codes are member-specific, issued automatically, and apply themselves at checkout — so the right members get the right offer, with nothing to hand out or reconcile.
The membership that sells your whole season
In the performing arts this is the single biggest driver of memberships — because you sell the membership and the season in one move. Offer a light-touch level with a flex pass and no dates to commit to up front, a mid level with a mini-season of half the shows, and a top level with the full season subscription.
The patron does it all in one checkout: pick the level, choose dates and times, select seats — at each venue if your season plays more than one stage — and even choose T-shirt sizes, without ever leaving the flow.
See it the way your patrons do
These are live, member-facing pages built in ThunderTix — from a single program with tiered benefits to a venue offering more than one membership option at once.
Renewals that run on autopilot
Match the renewal to your program. Sell a membership as a one-time purchase, a monthly plan, or an annual plan — and have it renew on a calendar date, the anniversary of purchase, or a custom season date. Turn on auto-renew and ThunderTix charges the saved card each cycle through Stripe or Square, or keep it manual with a one-click renewal link. Reminders go out on the schedule you set.
Set up your first membership in four steps
No specialist required — build a complete program from inside your ThunderTix account.
Create the membership
Add a new membership from inside your ThunderTix account.
Pick a plan
Choose a customer classification and a renewal plan — one-time, monthly, or annual, by calendar, purchase date, or a custom season date.
Name the call to action
Set the public button label your patrons see, from “Subscribe” to “Join now.”
Add levels & benefits
Create your levels, then assign the automated benefits each one includes.
A membership is the strongest signal a patron can send
Members buy earlier, give more, and come back season after season. Because memberships live inside your CRM, every renewal, upgrade, and gift rolls into the same patron profile you already use for RFM scoring and targeted outreach — no exports, no syncing, no second tool to reconcile.
Grow your audience without growing your bill
Contact tools like Mailchimp and Constant Contact charge more as your list gets bigger — every new subscriber nudges you toward the next pricing tier. ThunderTix works the other way. Your CRM, memberships, donations, products, and gift cards are all included in your plan, and adding patrons, members, or donors never changes what you pay. Memberships carry a flat 2% on every sale — card, cash, or check.
Your ThunderTix plan is based on the tickets you sell — never on how many patrons, members, or donors you keep.
Membership management FAQ
It's a built-in program that lets you sell membership tiers at checkout, apply member benefits automatically, and keep every member in the same CRM you use for ticketing and fundraising — no separate donor tool required.
Your CRM, memberships, and fundraising are included in your ThunderTix plan — there's no separate subscription for them and no per-contact charge, so your cost doesn't climb as your list grows. Memberships carry a flat 2% on every sale — card, cash, or check — taken straight from the transaction, so there's nothing to invoice.
Yes. Turn on auto-renew and ThunderTix charges the saved card each cycle through Stripe or Square. Prefer a lighter touch? Keep renewals manual and send members a one-click renewal link with automatic reminders.
Create as many tiers as you need, each with its own price, discount, and perks — from a $50 Friend level to a $500 Benefactor circle. You control what every level includes.
Yes. The moment a patron joins, their discount and access apply to that order and every future purchase — no codes to share and nothing for your box office to key in.
Every membership, renewal, and gift lands on the patron's profile automatically, feeding RFM scoring, giving history, and segmented outreach — all in one place, with no exports or syncing.
