You get one PDF with all tickets and a group QR. Want to hand them out? Pull them apart in your account: one PDF per ticket, so everyone has their own copy. [Jasper Koers](https://mijnevent.nl/en/author/jasper-koers) · 12 October 2026 · 4 min read ![](https://regify-mijnevent.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/blog/covers/losse-pdf-per-ticket-downloaden.webp) Photo: [Lukas Eggers](https://unsplash.com/@beschtephotography?utm_source=MijnEvent&utm_medium=referral) / [Unsplash](https://unsplash.com/?utm_source=MijnEvent&utm_medium=referral) In short - Buy several tickets and by default you get one PDF with all tickets, plus a group QR that gets you in together with a single scan. - In your account you pull those tickets apart: you get a ZIP file with its own PDF for every ticket, without the group QR. - Every separate PDF says at the bottom that it was pulled out, for example 'Separate ticket 3 of 10'. - Give everyone their own PDF. Each ticket gets in only once, so two people with the same PDF won't both get in. You've bought tickets for your group of friends: ten passes for a festival weekend. Your inbox holds one PDF with ten pages, plus a group QR that gets you all in with a single scan. Handy when you arrive together. But what if one friend comes on Friday, another only on Saturday, and everyone wants their own ticket? Then you pull the tickets apart: one PDF per ticket, a copy for everyone. # Two ways to download your tickets In your account with the organiser you choose how you get your tickets. - **The complete PDF.** All tickets of your order in one file, with the group QR. It's the same PDF as in your confirmation email. Ideal when you go in together. - **Separate PDFs per ticket.** A ZIP file with its own PDF for every ticket, without the group QR. Ideal when you want to forward or hand out tickets. You'll find both with your order: open **My orders**, choose your order and click **Download tickets (PDF)** for the complete PDF. Below it is the small link **Prefer a separate PDF per ticket?**. # How to pull your tickets apart 1. Sign in to your account with the organiser. No password needed: you get a sign-in link by email. 2. Open **My orders** and choose the order with your tickets. 3. Click **Prefer a separate PDF per ticket?** and read the short explanation. 4. Choose **Create separate PDFs**. You see the progress ("2 of 10"), and once everything is ready the ZIP file downloads by itself. The PDFs in the ZIP are numbered, for example `…-ticket-ab12cd34-01.pdf` up to `-10.pdf`. That way you can see at a glance which ones you've already sent. Only need one ticket? Open that ticket under **My tickets** and choose **Download only this ticket (PDF)**. # Give everyone their own PDF This is the one thing to remember: **each ticket gets in only once.** The QR code on a ticket is scanned at the entrance, and after that it's used. Send the same PDF to two people and only the first gets in. The second one faces a scanner that says "already checked in". So send each separate PDF to exactly one person, and keep track of who has which number. # Why a separate PDF has no group QR The group QR checks in the *whole* order with one scan. It doesn't belong on a ticket you give to one person: otherwise that person could bring in the rest of the group with a single scan, or use up your tickets by accident. That's why the group QR only appears in the complete PDF. A separate PDF says subtly at the bottom that it was pulled out, for example **"Separate ticket 3 of 10 · order AB12CD34"**. So whoever receives it knows it's one ticket from a larger order. Going in together after all? Then simply use the complete PDF with the group QR. Both versions stay available in your account. # In your confirmation email too Buy more than one ticket and your confirmation email includes a small pointer to this option. No searching needed: one click and you're at your order. Read more about finding your tickets again in [Downloading your tickets after purchase](/en/blog/download-tickets-after-purchase). # For organisers You don't need to set anything up. Separate PDFs are available for every paid order with more than one ticket, as long as ticket PDFs are switched on for your event. The separate PDFs share the layout of the complete PDF: your logo, your sponsor bar and its own QR per ticket. See what that PDF looks like on the [PDF tickets](/en/pdf-tickets) page. # In short - With several tickets you get one PDF with all tickets and a group QR. - In your account you pull them apart into a ZIP with one PDF per ticket, without the group QR. - Every separate PDF says "Separate ticket n of y". - Give everyone their own PDF: each ticket gets in only once. Frequently asked questions ## Frequently asked questions ## How do I download my tickets as separate PDFs? Sign in to your account with the organiser, open your order and choose 'Prefer a separate PDF per ticket?'. After a short confirmation we build a ZIP file with its own PDF for every ticket, and it downloads by itself as soon as it's ready. ## Why does a separate PDF have no group QR? The group QR checks in the whole order with one scan. It doesn't belong on a ticket you give to one person: otherwise that person could bring in the whole group with a single scan. That's why the group QR only appears in the complete PDF. ## Can I download just one ticket? Yes. Open the ticket in your account and choose 'Download only this ticket (PDF)'. You get the PDF of that single ticket straight away. ## Does the organiser need to set anything up? No. Separate PDFs are available for every paid order with more than one ticket, as long as the organiser has ticket PDFs switched on.
