Sell gift cards

Newsletter integration at checkout

Built-in GDPR-proof opt-in at checkout (off by default), straight to your own newsletter service — Mailchimp, Brevo, MailerLite, Laposta, ActiveCampaign, Kit or your own webhook.

But there is more

EVENTIM.Light sells tickets. MijnEvent runs your entire organisation.

EVENTIM.Light 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 = EVENTIM.Light 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

What carries over from EVENTIM.Light?

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

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 EVENTIM.Light. 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 EVENTIM.Light

When is EVENTIM.Light the better choice?

Choose Eventim Light if extra reach via the eventim.nl marketplace is valuable to you — that consumer discovery is something MijnEvent deliberately does not have; MijnEvent focuses on your own channel with direct payouts.
