Short answer
From 5 November 2026 a private event costs € 50 per event, VAT included. A private event is an event with an access code whose tickets are all free. The amount is fixed: ten registrations or two thousand, it stays € 50.
Nothing changes for public events. A free ticket for a public event stays free, on every pricing model.
Why this changes
MijnEvent earns a fixed amount per paid ticket. We charge nothing for a free ticket, and that stays: a neighbourhood party, a benefit or an open day should not get a bill because it happens to take registrations.
Since the access code arrived, organisations also use MijnEvent for something else: registration for a closed gathering. A kick-off for two hundred colleagues, a members' meeting, a client day for invited guests. There is no ticket sale behind it, but there is everything an event needs: registrations, a guest list, QR tickets, emails and scanning at the door.
So far we charged nothing for that use. That does not fit what it is, which is why it gets one fixed amount.
What exactly it covers
Two things both have to be true:
- The event has an access code.
- All active ticket types are free.
If one of the two is not true, your event is not covered.
| Your event | What you pay |
|---|---|
| Public, free tickets | Nothing |
| Public, paid tickets | The fee per paid ticket |
| Access code, paid tickets (with or without free ones) | The fee per paid ticket |
| Access code, free tickets only | € 50 per event, from 5 November 2026 |
What you get for it
The same as with any other event, with no limit on the number of registrations:
- an event page that only opens with the code and is not in search engines;
- registration with a QR ticket by email, as a PDF and in the wallet;
- a guest list, exports and emails to your participants;
- scanning at the door with the free app.
Do you already have a private event?
Then nothing changes for that event. Every event that has an access code before 5 November 2026 stays free, even if it takes place in December or next year. That happens by itself; you do not have to do anything.
Planning a closed gathering after 5 November, with the event already set up? Put the access code on it before that date.
How you see it in your dashboard
The edit screen of every event shows what applies, right below the access code field. Until 5 November that is the announcement; after that you see the amount there and pay when you publish.
The terms
The change is in article 5 of the organiser agreement. The next time you log in we ask you to read the new version and agree to it. All amounts are on the pricing page.
