MijnEvent vs LeisureKing
LeisureKing has been a Dutch reservation and ticketing system for the leisure industry since 2013, serving rental businesses, day attractions, climbing parks, escape rooms, museums and bowling alleys. Besides online bookings it offers point-of-sale hardware, a front office app for third-party sales points and integrations with cash register systems such as MplusKASSA and SnelStart.
Short answer
LeisureKing charges service fees as a percentage of the booking (2.75%–3.9%); MijnEvent uses a flat fee from €0.25 per ticket (incl. VAT) that does not scale with the price, and pays out via your own Mollie account.

LeisureKing sells tickets. MijnEvent runs your entire organisation.
LeisureKing sells tickets. MijnEvent sells tickets and rents out your boats, halls and equipment, seats your visitors on a floor plan, sells your merchandise, takes orders at the bar and the food trucks, manages your memberships and season passes, handles your parking and camping pitches, enrols your course participants, collects your donations, gathers anonymous feedback afterwards and builds your entire website if you want one — all on the same account, with the same Mollie connection, for a flat fee per transaction.
What LeisureKing does
Reservation and ticketing system for the leisure industry; payments via Pay.nl.
13 of these 16 capabilities are missing from LeisureKing.
What MijnEvent also does
You switch every module on or off yourself. Click through for what it does and what it costs. Dimmed = LeisureKing offers this as well.
- One account Everything under the same subdomain and the same back office. No second vendor, no second login, no export files dragged back and forth.
- One Mollie connection You connect Mollie once. Every module settles through it, straight into your own account — tickets, rentals, merchandise and the rest.
- A flat fee per transaction Flat amounts per paid transaction, never a percentage of your revenue. Free tickets, free bookings and donations are fee-free.
Strengths & Points of attention
LeisureKing — Strengths
LeisureKing — Points of attention
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).
- Name + email address
- City optional
- No phone number
- No date of birth
- No full address
Why switch to MijnEvent?
A flat fee from €0.25 incl. VAT instead of a percentage that scales with pricier tickets, your own Mollie account with direct payout instead of Pay.nl, and instant self-service start without picking a package via sales
LeisureKing is best for
Rental businesses and day recreation (bike/boat rental, climbing parks, escape rooms, bowling) with individual bookings, time slots and POS hardware
MijnEvent is best for
Dutch organizers who want transparent pricing, accessibility built to WCAG AA, their own subdomain, privacy by design (GDPR), built-in resale, gift cards, waitlists, and self-service VAT invoices for visitors.
When is LeisureKing the better choice?
Choose LeisureKing if you run a day-recreation business that needs a complete operation with physical POS hardware and recreation-specific bookings. Rentals, parking and time slots are things MijnEvent also offers itself (via modules), so those alone are not a reason to switch.
What carries over from LeisureKing?
An honest overview of what you take with you, what you set up again, and what stays behind at LeisureKing.
This comes with you
- Your visitor list — the addresses are yours. With a valid opt-in you load them into your own newsletter service and connect that to the checkout.
- Your Mollie account. You connect it again and payouts keep landing straight in your own account.
- Your branding: logo, colours and your own subdomain, so visitors see your name and not the platform's.
- Your own website and existing links — point the "Tickets" button at your subdomain or place the ticket widget on your own page.
This you set up again
- Your events, ticket types and prices are created again in your dashboard.
- Your service fees are set again per ticket type.
- Your stewards receive an invitation and set their own PIN for the scanning app.
- Modules you use — rentals, parking, memberships — are switched on one by one.
What does not come with you: tickets already sold through LeisureKing. Those stay valid there and their QR codes are not recognised by us — we do not import orders from another system. Most organisers therefore switch between two events, or let a running event finish at their current provider while the next one is already set up at MijnEvent.
