Comparison

MijnEvent vs pretix

pretix is a German open-source ticketing platform for conferences, festivals, and museums. The hosted version charges 2.5% of the ticket price (excl. VAT) with no monthly costs; self-hosting is free. Payments can run via your own Mollie account and pretix claims WCAG/EN 301 549 accessibility.

Summary

pretix is powerful and accessible, but the percentage fee grows with pricier tickets (2.5% of €50 = €1.25) and support is German/English. MijnEvent charges a flat low price from €0.50 (incl. VAT) with Dutch support and built-in resale.
