Without a good solution, that ticket ends up on unreliable resale channels, where visitors run the risk of fake tickets or extortionate prices. With the resale feature of MijnEvent you offer a safe alternative. Visitors can resell their ticket neatly within the platform, so the buyer can be sure they receive a valid ticket. As the organiser, you keep control. # Resale is set per ticket type You decide for yourself which tickets are allowed to be resold. You do that **per ticket type** in your management environment. This way you can, for example, allow resale for regular tickets but exclude it for special VIP packages. Per ticket type you choose: - **Resale on or off** — do you allow resale or not? - **A maximum resale price** (optional) — so that tickets are not offered at extortionate prices. With a maximum price you prevent tickets from being sold far above their original value. That keeps things fair for your visitors and protects the name of your event. # How a resale works When a visitor offers their ticket, the resale runs smoothly and safely: 1. The seller offers their ticket at an asking price (within any maximum price that has been set). 2. The buyer pays the asking price plus a service fee via a **new payment**. 3. As soon as the payment is complete, the old ticket is made **invalid**. 4. The buyer receives a **new ticket with a new QR code**. 5. The original seller receives a **refund** to their payment method. Because the old ticket becomes invalid and the buyer receives a fresh ticket with a new QR code, there is no room for abuse. One ticket cannot be used twice. # Safe for everyone This approach protects everyone involved: - **The buyer** can be sure they are buying a valid, registered ticket. - **The seller** gets their money back neatly to their own payment method. - **You as the organiser** keep an overview of who actually comes in, because every ticket stays linked to your event. # In short - You enable resale per ticket type: on or off. - Optionally set a maximum price against extortionate prices. - The buyer pays via a new payment; the old ticket lapses. - The buyer gets a new ticket with a new QR code, the seller a refund. This way you give visitors the freedom to resell a ticket, without compromising on safety or fairness. Frequently asked questions ## Frequently asked questions ## How do I set up resale?
