Strathmore Partners with True Tickets to Enhance Patron Experience with Secure Digital Ticketing

NORTH BETHESDA, MD / BOSTON, MA (November 18, 2025) — Strathmore, a vibrant multidisciplinary arts center serving the greater Washington, D.C. region, has partnered with True Tickets, the secure digital ticketing service for cultural institutions, to bring secure, mobile-first ticket delivery to its audiences.

As one of the area’s most dynamic cultural destinations, Strathmore presents hundreds of performances each year across its venues and in the community—including the iconic 2,000-seat Music Center. With this new partnership, Strathmore will streamline entry for guests, gain greater control over how tickets are shared and unlock deeper data about who’s actually attending its events.

“Strathmore is committed to delivering extraordinary experiences, and part of that is making the ticketing journey as seamless and trustworthy as possible,” said Alaina Sadick Goss, VP of Communications and Marketing, Strathmore. “True Tickets offers a forward-thinking solution that aligns with our values—enhancing patron access, reducing ticket fraud that impacts our audiences, and supporting a more connected relationship with every audience member.”

Strathmore joins a growing network of organizations turning to True Tickets’ Tessitura-integrated technology for smart, secure ticket delivery. Digital tickets are delivered as dynamic QR codes and can be shared securely, ensuring that every guest—even those who receive shared tickets—can be welcomed and that Strathmore’s understanding of their audiences is inclusive.

“Strathmore is a cornerstone of the D.C.-area arts ecosystem, and we’re proud to help them deliver on their mission of accessibility and excellence,” said Ken Lesnik, Head of Business Development at True Tickets. “This partnership empowers them with the tools to create a secure, flexible ticketing experience that’s built around real audience relationships.”

The partnership will be active for upcoming programming, offering Strathmore patrons a secure, seamless way to access the performances they love.
