Your ticket in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet: always at hand

A familiar scene at the entrance: visitors scrolling through their inbox looking for the ticket email while the queue behind them grows. There's an easier way. With MijnEvent, visitors add their ticket to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet with a single tap — the same place their bank card and boarding passes already live. Phone out, done.

How it works

After a successful purchase the option is right there, in two places:

  • In the ticket email: below every QR code sit the official "Add to Apple Wallet" and "Add to Google Wallet" buttons. One tap and the pass is in.
  • In "My tickets": visitors who log in on the organizer's subdomain see the same buttons next to every valid ticket. Handy if the email ever gets lost — the wallet button doesn't.

The pass itself is a small digital ticket in MijnEvent style: a dark blue card with your event name, the date, the venue and the visitor's name — and of course the QR code, exactly the same one that's on the PDF ticket and in the ticket email. If the ticket has a time slot, that's on there too. The inspector scans the pass like any other ticket; the scanner doesn't know the difference.

Why visitors love it

  • Always with you. The pass sits next to the bank card and the transit card — no email hunting, no app to install, no account needed at the entrance.
  • No paper ticket needed. Nothing to print, nothing to lose. Sustainable, too.
  • Available offline. The QR code lives inside the pass, not behind a link. Even on a festival site without coverage the ticket opens instantly — no struggling mail app or endlessly loading web page.
  • Faster at check-in. Apple and Google surface the pass at the right moment: around the event's start time it appears on the lock screen by itself. Phone up, scan, walk in.

What do you notice as an organizer?

Shorter queues, mostly. Visitors with a wallet pass have their QR code on screen in a second, and the scanner app treats the pass exactly like a paper or PDF ticket — including all validity and double-use checks.

There's nothing to set up: wallet passes are enabled by default for your events. Rather not? You can switch them off per event in the ticket settings, next to the QR and PDF options.

And the cost? There is none. Wallet passes are simply included with MijnEvent, on every plan.

Tips

  • Add a line to your confirmation text like "Add your ticket to your wallet so it's ready at the entrance" — visitors who've used the button once will use it every time.
  • Resold ticket? The old ticket's QR code becomes invalid, in the wallet too. The buyer receives their own ticket email with their own wallet buttons.
  • Multiple tickets in one order? Every QR code gets its own wallet buttons, so each member of the group adds their own pass.

That way your visitors' tickets live exactly where their phone expects them — and you keep the queue at the entrance moving.
