Alternative

Looking for a 4planning alternative?

For a sports club wanting one system for members, dues and communication, 4planning is good value. If you sell tickets seriously, there are two things to know — here they are.

Why organizers look for alternatives

Points to weigh when considering a 4planning alternative:

The amount of the per-ticket service fee is published nowhere

4planning may reserve proceeds until after the event and offsets fees against payouts

The payout frequency is agreed per customer and not published

Publishes no WCAG AA accessibility statement

No price periods, waitlist, time slots or seating chart; scanning works online only

Facts about 4planning

  • Dutch all-in-one member app (4Software B.V., Venlo) for sports clubs, associations and business clubs.
  • Mollie is the payment provider, but 4planning collects into an internal balance, may reserve part until after the event, and pays out on an agreed frequency that is not published.
  • The subscription costs €1 to €2.50 per day excl. VAT and scales with member count, not ticket volume.
  • Their knowledge base confirms a per-ticket service fee exists — "the service fee per ticket (fixed amount)" — but the amount appears nowhere on the site.
  • The two FAQ entries covering this give answers about telephony integrations and AI meeting summaries.
  • You cannot set the service fee yourself: "Can I adjust the service fee myself? No, it is fixed platform-wide."
  • Although Mollie is the payment provider, 4planning may reserve part of the proceeds until after the event and offset fees against payouts.
  • The scanner runs via a browser link and requires a stable internet connection.

What you gain with MijnEvent

Features MijnEvent includes by default that 4planning does not offer (or does not publish):

Transparent pricing

Public pricing, no quote process.

Early bird without a separate ticket type

Named price periods on the ticket type itself — no detour via a second ticket type, a discount campaign or a pricing formula. The price switches automatically by date and your capacity stays one pool, so you never move the leftovers of an expired promotion by hand.

Mollie payments

Direct payouts to your own Mollie account.

Custom service fees

Set your own service fee per ticket type.

Ticket resale

Visitors resell safely — you stay in control.

Sell gift cards

Sell gift cards redeemable in your ticket shop.

Waitlist when sold out

Sold out? Visitors join the waitlist.

Time slots (timed entry)

Let visitors pick a time slot, each with its own capacity.

But there is more

4planning sells tickets. MijnEvent runs your entire organisation.

4planning sells tickets. MijnEvent sells tickets and rents out your boats, halls and equipment, seats your visitors on a floor plan, sells your merchandise, takes orders at the bar and the food trucks, manages your memberships and season passes, handles your parking and camping pitches, enrols your course participants, collects your donations, gathers anonymous feedback afterwards and builds your entire website if you want one — all on the same account, with the same Mollie connection, for a flat fee per transaction.

What 4planning does

Dutch all-in-one member app (4Software B.V., Venlo) for sports clubs, associations and business clubs.

17 of these 18 capabilities are missing from 4planning.

You switch every module on or off yourself. Click through for what it does and what it costs. Dimmed = 4planning offers this as well.

  • One account Everything under the same subdomain and the same back office. No second vendor, no second login, no export files dragged back and forth.
  • One Mollie connection You connect Mollie once. Every module settles through it, straight into your own account — tickets, rentals, merchandise and the rest.
  • A flat fee per transaction Flat amounts per paid transaction, never a percentage of your revenue. Free tickets, free bookings and donations are fee-free.

Privacy by design — only what is needed

MijnEvent only asks visitors for what a ticket really requires: name and email address — city is optional. No phone number, date of birth or full address: tickets do not need them, and elsewhere they are mostly collected for marketing. Less data means less risk for you and your visitors (GDPR).

  • Name + email address
  • City optional
  • No phone number
  • No date of birth
  • No full address

Switching is easy

Your first event online within 15 minutes. No technical knowledge needed, no long contracts.

Create account

Sign up for free and choose your subdomain.

Connect Mollie

Connect your Mollie account for direct payouts.

Create event

Create your first event and start selling.

What carries over from 4planning?

An honest overview of what you take with you, what you set up again, and what stays behind at 4planning.

This comes with you

  • Your visitor list — the addresses are yours. With a valid opt-in you load them into your own newsletter service and connect that to the checkout.
  • Your Mollie account. You connect it again and payouts keep landing straight in your own account.
  • Your branding: logo, colours and your own subdomain, so visitors see your name and not the platform's.
  • Your own website and existing links — point the "Tickets" button at your subdomain or place the ticket widget on your own page.

This you set up again

  • Your events, ticket types and prices are created again in your dashboard.
  • Your service fees are set again per ticket type.
  • Your stewards receive an invitation and set their own PIN for the scanning app.
  • Modules you use — rentals, parking, memberships — are switched on one by one.

What does not come with you: tickets already sold through 4planning. Those stay valid there and their QR codes are not recognised by us — we do not import orders from another system. Most organisers therefore switch between two events, or let a running event finish at their current provider while the next one is already set up at MijnEvent.

When is 4planning the better choice?

Choose 4planning if you want one system for members, teams, calendar, dues collection, bar shifts, sponsors and internal communication, and you sell tickets a handful of times a year for a season closer or club party. Ticketing then inherits the member database, so member pricing, family accounts and attendance work without any integration. For €30 to €76 a month you replace a member administration, a communication tool and a direct debit flow at once.
