A sponsor helps pay for your event and wants something in return: visibility. A banner along the field is nice, but there's one spot everyone genuinely looks at — the ticket itself. On MijnEvent you give your event sponsors a fixed place at the bottom of the ticket PDF, under the heading "Made possible by". Their logo travels along in every attachment, from the confirmation email to the screen at the entrance.
Note: the screenshot below shows the Dutch interface — the flow is identical in every language.
Add sponsors with a logo
In the sponsor admin (Dashboard → Sponsors) you create a sponsor: a name, a logo and an optional link to their website. Sponsors are organisation-wide — you set them up once and use them on as many events as you like, without re-entering them each time.
Each sponsor has two toggles: active (is the sponsor on at all) and show on the ticket PDF. That way a sponsor who only belongs on your website stays off the tickets easily. If a sponsor has no logo (yet), the display neatly falls back to the name as text — you never end up with a gap.
Switch it on per event
Not every event wants the same sponsors on the ticket. That's why the "Show sponsors on the ticket PDF" button lives in each event's ticket settings separately (it's on by default). Your big festival proudly shows your main sponsors; a small private event leaves them off with a single tick.
One condition: sponsors only appear if you also have the PDF attachment switched on ("Send the tickets as a PDF attachment"). Logical — no PDF, no place for logos. If the PDF is off, the sponsor button greys out automatically.
How it appears on the ticket
At the bottom of every ticket PDF a tidy row appears: first the heading "Made possible by", then the logos of your sponsors in the order you set. To keep it clean and readable, the ticket shows at most four — enough for your main partners, without turning into an advertising flyer.
The logos are embedded in the PDF (as data URIs), so they always travel along — even when the PDF is produced by our cloud renderer or opened by a strict mail client. No broken images, no external requests.
The sponsor bar at the bottom of the ticket: heading, logos, and a link for whoever opens it digitally.
On the city card too
If you work with the city-card module, you already know this pattern: there, the merchant pages give your sponsors and own branding a place on the public page. Ticket sponsors are its sibling, but on the proof the visitor takes home.
How to switch it on
- Go to Dashboard → Sponsors and add a name, logo and (optionally) a link per sponsor.
- On the sponsor, switch "show on the ticket PDF" on and make sure it's active.
- Open your event, go to the ticket settings and check that both the PDF attachment and "Show sponsors on the ticket PDF" are on.
- Send or download a test ticket to check the sponsor bar.
The ticket PDF does more than just carry sponsors, by the way: every order automatically gets a branded PDF proof. Curious what else is possible? Browse the module overview.
