In MijnEvent you create one or more ticket types per event. Think of a classic setup with **Standard**, **VIP** and **Early Bird**, but you're completely free in how many types you create and what you call them. Each ticket type has its own settings, so you can give your visitors exactly the choice that suits your event. # What you set up per ticket type In the admin panel you configure the following for each ticket type: - **Name** — for example "Early Bird" or "VIP package". - **Description** — a short explanation of what the visitor gets. - **Price** — the amount in euros that the visitor pays. - **Capacity** — the maximum number of tickets you want to sell of this type. Leave this field empty and the type is available without limit. By combining price and description you steer very precisely how visitors make their choice. A good description prevents questions afterwards and reduces hesitation at the checkout. # Capacity: control over your numbers Capacity is your tool to avoid selling more than your venue or grounds can handle. If, for example, you set a capacity of 50 for the Early Bird, sales of that type stop automatically as soon as those 50 tickets are gone. A few handy scenarios: - **Limited supply** — give the Early Bird a low capacity to create an early-booker advantage. - **Unlimited** — leave the capacity field empty if you don't want to set a maximum. - **Different limits** — combine a generous Standard capacity with a small VIP capacity. As soon as a ticket type's capacity is reached, MijnEvent automatically shows that type as **sold out**. You don't have to do anything yourself. # Activating, deactivating and ordering You have full control over which types are visible and in what order they appear: - **Activate or deactivate** — temporarily switch a ticket type off without deleting it. Handy if you want to open up a type only later. - **Set the order** — decide for yourself in what order the types appear on the event page. Put your most popular or best-value option at the top, for example. This keeps your event page clear and directs attention to the tickets you most want to sell. # A waiting list when you sell out Sold out doesn't mean you have to close the door. For a ticket type that has reached its capacity, you can enable a **waiting list**. Interested visitors then leave their details, so they're first in line as soon as space opens up again — for example when an order lapses. That way you make use of every freed-up spot and never leave a sale on the table. # In short With ticket types and capacity you decide exactly what you sell, at what price and in what quantities. Start with a few clear types, set a capacity where needed, and enable a waiting list for your most popular tickets. That puts your sales entirely in your own hands. Frequently asked questions ## Frequently asked questions ## Can I sell different ticket types for one event? Yes. You create one or more ticket types per event, each with its own name, description, price and capacity, so you can offer setups like Standard, VIP and Early Bird. ## What happens when a ticket type sells out? As soon as a type's capacity is reached, MijnEvent automatically shows it as sold out without any action from you. You can enable a waiting list so visitors are notified when a spot frees up. ## How do I make a ticket type unlimited? Leave the capacity field empty. The ticket type is then available without a maximum number.
