Strengths & Points of attention

ActiveTickets — Strengths

  • 15+ years in the NL market, Dutch support
  • Deep modular features (seating, members, donations)
  • Embeds into your own website
  • Reservations for cultural venues

ActiveTickets — Points of attention

  • No transparent pricing; sales-led
  • Dated tech/UX
  • No published peer-to-peer resale
  • Smaller team — limited scale

Privacy by design — only what is needed

MijnEvent only asks visitors for what a ticket really requires: name and email address — city is optional. No phone number, date of birth or full address: tickets do not need them, and elsewhere they are mostly collected for marketing. Less data means less risk for you and your visitors (GDPR).
