Authentication

Enable Authentication on an Event

2min

Authentication is an optional feature within Ludus that allows you to restrict ticket access to those with a valid Authentication ID. Common events that use Authentication are prom, graduation, and other school-hosted functions.

This will restrict access to only individuals with records that you have previously uploaded to your account and will be valid for the entire duration of ticket sales. If you are looking to use codes to give early access to ticket purchases, please check out the Access Codes feature. Suggested Article: Access Codes

Authentication is a beta feature and is not enabled by default. If you are interested in using Authentication, please contact Ludus support. Suggested Article: How to Contact Ludus



Once you have uploaded your Authentication records, you will want to set up an event with Authentication enabled. To do so:
