One platform, three rates — which one fits you?
A local market, a yearly canal parade, a flower parade or a multi-day festival: these are completely different events, and charging the same price for all of them would make little sense. That's why MijnEvent has three plans. The good news: you don't have to guess. In this guide you'll work out in a couple of minutes which rate is cheapest for your situation.
The rule of thumb up front: it comes down to two numbers — how many tickets you sell per event, and how often you organise something per year.
The three plans at a glance
| Plan | Fixed cost | Fee per ticket | For whom |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pay as you go | None | €0.50 | Occasional and smaller events |
| Organizer (Recurring) | €14.95 once per event | €0.25 | Regular organisers, 60+ tickets per event |
| Custom | On request | From €0.01 (negotiated) | Structurally high volume |
For all plans the following applies: payments go through your own Mollie account (Mollie Connect), you never pay a percentage of the ticket price, and you pay a fixed fee per paid ticket (incl. VAT), regardless of the ticket price. Free tickets are always completely free.
Pay as you go: no risk, no commitments
This is the default everyone starts with. No subscription fees, no contract — you only pay €0.50 per sold ticket. Sell nothing, pay nothing.
Ideal for:
- A one-off or yearly recurring market, flea market or neighbourhood party
- A first event where you don't yet know how many visitors to expect
- Events with lots of free tickets (those are always free)
Example — village market: 200 paid tickets at €5. The fee is €0.50 per ticket. Total: €100. No fixed costs, no hassle.
Organizer (Recurring): from around 60 tickets per event
As soon as you sell a few more tickets per event, the lower ticket fee becomes attractive. For €14.95 once per event (no monthly stacking) your fee drops from €0.50 to €0.25 per ticket. You also get extras: ticket resale, advanced statistics, multiple inspectors and priority support.
Where's the tipping point? You earn back the €14.95 as soon as you sell more than ~60 tickets per event:
€14.95 ÷ (€0.50 − €0.25) = roughly 60 tickets
Below that you're cheaper off with Pay as you go; above it with Recurring.
Example — yearly canal parade: one large event, 800 tickets at €15.
- Pay as you go: 800 × €0.50 = €400
- Recurring: €14.95 + 800 × €0.25 = €214.95
Recurring saves almost half here. If you run several events like this per year (think a parade foundation with processions, a festival week or a concert series), that advantage compounds per event.
Custom: for structurally high volume
If you sell large numbers structurally — for example a festival organisation with tens of thousands of tickets per year — a fixed price list is too blunt. That's where we work it out with you. Custom is a negotiated rate from €0.01 per ticket, tailored to your volume, with an annual minimum as a baseline.
You also get the heaviest features: API & MCP access to connect MijnEvent to your own systems, custom branding / whitelabel, dedicated support and SLA arrangements.
A handy threshold: once you head towards 1,500+ tickets per year, it pays to do the maths together. Get in touch for a proposal.
Decision tree in three questions
- Do you sell fewer than ~60 tickets per event? → Pay as you go. No fixed costs, no risk.
- Do you sell 60+ tickets per event, and organise regularly? → Organizer (Recurring). The €0.25 fee pays for itself quickly.
- Do you run structurally high volume or want to connect via API / whitelabel? → Custom. From €0.01 per ticket, tailored.
Torn between two? Feel free to start on Pay as you go — you're not tied to anything and can switch at any time. At MijnEvent we handle the switch with you; you don't have to change plans yourself.
Do the maths yourself
On the pricing page you'll find a calculator: enter your number of tickets, your events per year and your average ticket price, and you'll instantly see what each plan costs you. No small print, no surprises on the payout.
