TORONTO, ONTARIO — (Marketwired) — 09/10/13 — has deployed to streamline, modernize and meet the unique requirements of its annual hallmark production, professional performing arts as well as other campus events.

“We are excited to be transforming the ticketing and overall customer experience for Christmas at Luther, our Center Stage Series and other activities through our partnership with AudienceView. Our new technology has given us a better online presence plus the ability to manage many different member benefits and access to tickets across multiple events,” said Tanya Gertz, Director of Campus Programming at Luther College. “AudienceView effectively serves our dual audience of Luther students and larger local and extended community patrons. This will be of significant benefit as we streamline and automate the process through which tickets to Christmas at Luther are allocated, which has previously been a time- and labor-intensive process.”

AudienceView-s advanced ticketing capabilities will ensure each guest-s allotment for Christmas at Luther is fair and based on the hierarchy Luther College has in place for performers, students, alumni, donors, members and other attendees. In addition to robust ticketing, Luther College values the integrated, web-based nature of the AudienceView platform, its proprietary content management system, the company-s frequent system updates, and ongoing technological innovation. AudienceView is also able to meet Luther College-s requirements for major annual events via data automation solutions that facilitate real-time interactions with students and staff. Additionally, Luther College is using AudienceView-s flexible packaging solutions, offering more options to season subscribers, providing more specific offers to patrons and members using the customer relationship management (CRM) functionality, and driving revenues through the system-s robust pricing and fee structures.

Each year, 9,000 members of the Luther College community attend sold-out performances of Christmas at Luther. Now in its 32nd year, it features performances by six choirs, the college symphony orchestra, college organist and audience singing. It is broadcast on television throughout the United States and ranks as one of the top three Christmas shows on PBS. Luther College hosts almost 400 other events every year, including concerts and recitals, theatrical productions, lectures and more. The school also offers 19 varsity sports and a variety of club sports.

Patrons will enjoy innovative performances ranging from classic theater to contemporary dance, and music that ranges from brass and string ensembles to traditional Arabic jazz.
