# Luma vs MijnEvent — what does a ticket cost?

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 amount per ticket instead of a percentage, settlement in euros through your own Mollie account, iDEAL | Wero in the checkout, Dutch support, your own subdomain and WCAG AA ### Luma is best for International community events and meetups where the network is already on Luma ### 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 Luma the better choice? Choose Luma if you run international community events or meetups where the calendar, invitation and networking features matter more than the cost per ticket, and your audience is already on Luma. # What carries over from Luma? An honest overview of what you take with you, what you set up again, and what stays behind at Luma. ## 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 Luma. 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. # Frequently asked questions What is the difference between MijnEvent and Luma?
