[Jasper Koers](https://mijnevent.nl/en/author/jasper-koers) · 7 January 2026 · 3 min read ![](https://regify-mijnevent.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/blog/covers/sell-tickets-without-high-fees.webp) Photo: [Mathurin NAPOLY / matnapo](https://unsplash.com/@matnapo?utm_source=MijnEvent&utm_medium=referral) / [Unsplash](https://unsplash.com/?utm_source=MijnEvent&utm_medium=referral) In short - Big platforms charge 5–12% commission per ticket; MijnEvent charges a flat €0.25 or €0.50 per sold ticket (incl. VAT), regardless of ticket price. - Payments run through Mollie Connect straight into your own account — no intermediary, no payout delay. - Free tickets are always fully fee-free. - For 500 tickets at €25 you pay €250 in platform costs instead of €1,000 on an 8% platform. # 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 ScenarioPlatform A (8%)MijnEvent (€0.50)100 tickets at €15€120 commission€50500 tickets at €25€1,000 commission€2501,000 tickets at €40€3,200 commission€500The 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. # Get started Connect your Mollie account in less than five minutes using the onboarding wizard.
