# Create and publish an event — from blank screen to selling page — MijnEvent Creating an event # From a blank screen to a page that sells You have a date, a venue and an idea — and now something needs to exist where people can actually buy a ticket. At MijnEvent that is one form, at least one ticket type and a button. After that your event is live on your own subdomain, with a real payment behind it. [How it works](#how-title) [Everything included](https://mijnevent.nl/en/features) - 1Say what is happening Name, date, venue and a description. The web address is derived from the title automatically — one less thing to think about. - 2Put tickets underneath Every ticket type gets a price and, if you want, a limit. Without a ticket type there is nothing to sell, so this is the only genuine requirement. - 3Take it live Publishing is a single button. From that moment your page is online and people can pay — and you can keep editing everything afterwards. How it works ## Three steps between you and your first order Not a fourteen-screen wizard you lose track of halfway. One form, one list of ticket types, one publish button. 1 ### Set the event up Name, start and end date, venue and region, plus a description in your own words. Optionally you switch on the sales window, an order-level service fee, a donation field or time slots right here. Rather talk than type? The AI wizard asks you a few questions and fills in the form for you — you read it back and correct whatever is off. 2 ### Add your ticket types Early bird, standard, child, VIP — make as many as you need, each with its own price and an optional limit. Got a long list? Sort them into groups and drag them into the order your visitor should see. Free tickets are fine too: set the price to zero. 3 ### Publish and sell Once your Mollie account is connected and your organisation details are complete, the publish button comes alive. Your event appears on your own subdomain, visitors pay with iDEAL | Wero or another method, and the money lands straight in your account. Watch along ## The whole route in one take From an empty form to a published selling page — uncut, so you can see how long it genuinely takes. Creating an event, adding ticket types and publishing it in the admin panel. What you set up## The settings that actually matter The form is longer than this, but these are the four choices that decide how your sales run. ### Ticket types and prices A name, a price in euros and a description that ends up on the card. You can switch a type off temporarily without deleting it — handy when the early bird window has closed but you still want to see the numbers. ### Capacity, separate or shared Give each ticket type its own limit, or let several of them draw from the same pot. A hundred seats filled by adults and children alike is one counter, not two lists you have to add up yourself. Leave it blank and there is no limit at all. ### Service fees you decide on Per ticket type you can add an amount on top of the price, and once more per order. You invent the label yourself — “booking fee” or “venue contribution” — and the visitor sees it as a separate line at checkout. That money is yours, not ours. ### When it becomes visible A draft is visible only to you and your team; a visitor sees at most that something is coming. Separately, a sales start and end date decide when the buy button works. And you choose whether to show how many tickets are left or keep that to yourself. What it is for ## Four kinds of night, the same form The shape differs, the route does not: set it up, add tickets, go live. ### The club with one night a year A party, a performance, the annual do. Two ticket types — members and non-members — and you are done. Nothing to learn that you will have forgotten again by next year. ### The festival with a price ladder Early bird, standard, on the door, plus a combi ticket for the whole weekend. Put them in groups so your visitor does not scroll past twenty lines, and pull the early bird out the moment it sells through. ### The show that runs more than once Several performance dates under one heading, each with its own capacity. Visitors pick their night at checkout instead of you maintaining four separate pages. ### The corporate event with a guest list A conference or client day where some people pay and others come by invitation. Free ticket types carry no platform fee, so your guests are literally free. Good to know ## What it does not do (yet) We would rather be honest now than when you are halfway in. ## Publishing needs a payment method first Without a connected Mollie account and complete organisation details the publish button stays off — otherwise there would be a selling page online that nobody can pay on. Want to look around calmly first? Switch on demo mode: you can publish and order without any real money moving. ## You cannot copy an event If you run the same night every quarter, you create it again each time. There is no “duplicate this event” button. The AI wizard saves you most of the typing, but we are not going to pretend that is the same thing. ## Going live is something you do, in the moment You cannot set an event to publish itself at 10am on Friday. What you can do: publish it now and let sales open at 10am on Friday. The page is there, the buy button simply is not working yet. Frequently asked questions ## Frequently asked questions ## What is the bare minimum to create an event? A name, a start date in the future and at least one ticket type with a price. Venue and description are not required, but a page missing both sells badly. The web address is generated from the name automatically. ## Why can I not publish my event? Almost always because your Mollie account is not connected yet, or your organisation details are incomplete. The screen tells you exactly what is missing. While you are still trying things out, demo mode lets you walk through everything without real payments. ## Can I still change things after publishing? Yes, all of it: prices, capacity, description, ticket types added or removed. Tickets already sold naturally keep the price that applied at the time — a price change works forwards, not backwards. You can also put an event back to draft. ## How does that AI wizard actually work? You describe your event in plain sentences — typed or spoken — and the wizard asks follow-up questions. You watch the draft take shape as you go. At the end it creates the event as a draft, so you always read it back before anything goes live. ## What does it cost to create an event? Creating and publishing is free. You pay a fixed amount per paid ticket — € 0.50 on pay-as-you-go, or € 0.25 on the Organiser plan at € 14.95 per event, whatever the ticket costs. Free tickets cost you nothing. There is no percentage of your revenue and no subscription ticking along while you organise nothing. ## Can anyone see my draft already? No. While an event is a draft, a visitor sees at most that something is coming — no prices, no ticket types, no buy button. You and your team members do see the full page, with a clear notice on top that it is not published yet. # Your first event exists sooner than you think Creating an account costs nothing and ties you to nothing. You only pay the fixed fee once a paid ticket crosses the counter. [Start free](https://mijnevent.nl/registreer) [See all features](https://mijnevent.nl/en/features)
