Pricing

Ticketcounter sells tickets. MijnEvent runs your entire organisation.
Ticketcounter 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 Ticketcounter does
Ticketing for museums, attraction parks and day-trip venues with a physical box office.
12 of these 16 capabilities are missing from Ticketcounter.
What MijnEvent also does
You switch every module on or off yourself. Click through for what it does and what it costs. Dimmed = Ticketcounter 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
Ticketcounter — Strengths
Ticketcounter — 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?
Instant self-service start, public fixed pricing, WCAG AA from day one, and direct Mollie payouts
Ticketcounter is best for
Amusement parks, zoos, museums and day-trip venues with subscriptions and a physical box office
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 Ticketcounter the better choice?
Choose Ticketcounter if you run an attraction park, zoo or museum with a full physical box office setup and are fine with a quote process. Time slots and season passes (via the memberships module) are things MijnEvent also offers itself.
What carries over from Ticketcounter?
An honest overview of what you take with you, what you set up again, and what stays behind at Ticketcounter.
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 Ticketcounter. 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.
