Alternative

Looking for a Avayo alternative?

Like us, Avayo is based in Drenthe, has been around since 2011 and runs a full point-of-sale and payments system alongside its ticketing. Here is an honest comparison of rates and features.

Why organizers look for alternatives

Points to weigh when considering a Avayo alternative:

Pay.nl exclusively as payment provider; your own account is not possible

POS, card terminals, QR ordering and cashless are all price on request

Publishes no WCAG AA accessibility statement

Resale runs via the external TicketSwap marketplace, not in their own shop

Whether a free ticket also carries the fee is stated nowhere

Their analytics runs on Meta Pixel and Google Analytics, so with a cookie banner

What you gain with MijnEvent

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

Mollie payments

Direct payouts to your own Mollie account.

VAT invoices for visitors

Visitors arrange their own VAT invoice — nothing for you to create or send.

Sell gift cards

Sell gift cards redeemable in your ticket shop.

Waitlist when sold out

Sold out? Visitors join the waitlist.

Apple & Google Wallet tickets

Tickets straight into Apple Wallet or Google Wallet — always at hand, even offline.

Offline scanning

The scanning app works without coverage — scans sync automatically later.

Built-in cookie- and tracking-free analytics

Cookie-free, tracking-free visitor statistics on your sales pages via ClearAnalytics.eu — no cookie banner and no consent required.

Event feedback: anonymous post-event survey

One short survey after your event, only to those who actually attended (checked in), with your own questions and an NPS score. Answers are technically decoupled from the visitor, so they are guaranteed anonymous — you see a chart per question, never who answered what.

  • POS, mobile POS, card terminals, QR ordering and cashless cards are all "price on request".
  • Whether a free ticket also costs €0.80 is stated nowhere.
But there is more

Avayo sells tickets. MijnEvent runs your entire organisation.

Avayo 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.

You switch every module on or off yourself. Click through for what it does and what it costs. Dimmed = Avayo 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

What carries over from Avayo?

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

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 Avayo. 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.

Other alternatives for Avayo

When is Avayo the better choice?

Choose Avayo if your event is as much a bar and a gate as it is a ticket sale. For a flower parade, village festival or multi-day festival wanting one supplier for tickets, tokens, a till behind every bar, card terminals and QR ordering routed to the kitchen printer, they have fifteen years of operational depth a ticketing platform alone cannot match. Their seating chart and time slots are proper products too. And within 25 kilometres of Drenthe with more than 300 tickets a year, their regional rate of €0.60 applies.
