Ticketing for charities and foundations
At a benefit, every euro counts for the cause. That is why we charge a low flat amount per ticket — not a percentage that grows with every sale.
At a benefit gala, sponsored run, auction or supporters' evening, you want as much as possible to reach the cause. Many ticketing platforms take a percentage of every sale — so the more you raise, the bigger the cut. MijnEvent charges a low flat €0.50 per paid ticket sold, regardless of the price. Sell a €100 gala ticket and that fee stays €0.50 instead of a few euros in percentage. Volunteers and free places are always entirely fee-free. If you want to collect donations on top of the ticket, you set it up as an extra "additional gift" ticket type or as adjustable service fees — a voluntary contribution in the same checkout. The proceeds land straight in the foundation's account through your own Mollie account, with no holding account, which suits charitable transparency: you keep sight of every euro yourself. With the CSV export you account afterwards for who contributed what, neatly in your records.
This is what it solves
A percentage eats into the proceeds
With a platform that charges a percentage, a slice goes from every single euro — and with pricey benefit tickets that adds up fast. A flat €0.50 per ticket means the price of the ticket changes nothing about the fee: more is left for the cause.
Donations detached from ticket sales
A separate donation drive alongside ticket sales fragments your proceeds and your records. By setting up an "additional gift" ticket type or a voluntary contribution as a service fee, the visitor donates in the same checkout — all in one account, in one overview.
Accounting transparently to donors
Charitable status and committed givers call for a clear story about where the money goes. Because the money lands straight in the foundation's own account and you have a CSV export of all contributions, you can show exactly what came in afterwards.

Free tickets are genuinely free
No catch: on free tickets — for members, volunteers, children or guests — MijnEvent never charges a fee. You only pay the €0.50 (or €0.25) on paid tickets. Many platforms charge on free registrations too; with us a free ticket costs nothing, however large your guest list.

How much does MijnEvent take from the proceeds of a benefit?
A flat €0.50 per paid ticket sold — no percentage. That is the strong point for a charity: with a percentage platform the cut grows with every euro, here it stays €0.50 whether your ticket costs €15 or €100. Free tickets and volunteer places are always entirely fee-free.
Can visitors donate extra on top of their ticket?
Yes, and without a separate donation field: you create an extra "additional gift" ticket type, or you add a voluntary contribution as an adjustable service fee on the order. The visitor pays ticket and gift in one go, and the full amount lands in the foundation's account.
Does the money raised come straight to our foundation?
Yes. You connect your own Mollie account, and payments land straight in the foundation's account — no holding account, no waiting period. That suits charitable transparency and gives you control over every euro. You create a Mollie account for free with a Chamber of Commerce number and IBAN.
We only know part of our auction proceeds on the night itself — is that workable?
You handle ticket sales and fixed contributions in advance through MijnEvent; a live auction or raffle settled on the night falls outside the online sale. What you can do: set up a ticket type per auction lot or raffle strip that people buy in advance, so a fixed part of the proceeds is already in before the hammer falls.
