What does a ticket really cost?
When you first sell tickets online, the platform fees often seem manageable — until the payout comes in. Most established ticketing platforms charge a commission of 5 to 12 percent per ticket, on top of a fixed processing fee per order. On a €25 ticket, that already means €2.00 to €3.50 gone before a single attendee has walked through the door.
For larger events with a thousand attendees, that adds up to hundreds of euros in commission — just for managing a form and a QR code.
How MijnEvent keeps costs low
MijnEvent is built on Mollie Connect. This means you as an organiser connect your own Mollie account. Payments go directly into your account — MijnEvent never sits in between.
The only cost MijnEvent charges is a platform fee of €0.25 or €0.50 (incl. VAT) per sold ticket, depending on your plan. No percentage of the ticket price. No hidden settlement fees. No setup costs.
It is a fixed amount per paid ticket, regardless of the ticket price. And free tickets are always completely free — you never pay a fee on those.
Comparison in practice
| Scenario | Platform A (8%) | MijnEvent (€0.50) |
|---|---|---|
| 100 tickets at €15 | €120 commission | €50 |
| 500 tickets at €25 | €1,000 commission | €250 |
| 1,000 tickets at €40 | €3,200 commission | €500 |
The advantage grows quickly at volume. If you consistently sell more than 60 tickets per event, the Recurring plan is worth a look: €14.95 once per event, plus only €0.25 per ticket. Selling high volumes structurally? We'll work it out with you: the Custom plan is a negotiated rate from €0.01 per ticket, including API and MCP access and whitelabel. Contact us for a proposal.
Service fees — your choice, not ours
On many platforms, attendees pay mandatory service fees that organisers never see. With MijnEvent, you decide whether to charge service fees, how high they are, and how they appear in checkout. That revenue goes directly to your Mollie account.
Transparency for your attendees
Attendees see exactly what they pay in checkout. No mysterious "processing charges" appearing at the final step. Everything is itemised: ticket price, optional service fees, and the total. This builds trust and reduces abandoned purchases.
