Stager — Points of attention

  • From the third user €12.99/user/month
  • Broad platform = heavier/pricier than pure ticketing
  • No own built-in resale (though a TicketSwap Secure Swap integration)

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

  • No phone number
