Short version: listing is free, and we only earn when you do. Here is every fee we charge, written out in full — no tiers to decode, no asterisks.
no surprises, promiseThree lines cost money. Everything else is free.

|---|---|---|
| Listing a place | Free | Create it, keep it, edit it. No monthly fee, ever. |

Prices in euros. Boosts are a single payment — nothing renews on its own.
When a parent buys a ticket to your event on AmsterdamKids, we take 15%. That is the entire arrangement — there is no listing fee, no per-ticket surcharge and no monthly cost hiding behind it.
Sell your tickets somewhere else, or run a free event, and this never applies — your listing works exactly the same either way.
Card payments are processed by Stripe, whose standard processing fee applies as it does anywhere online. That one goes to Stripe, not to us.
A boost lifts your listing to the top of search results with a Sponsored badge. Useful before half-term or a launch — pointless the rest of the time, so we never ask you to buy one on a schedule.
Top of search results + Sponsored badge for 7 days.
A full month at the top of search results.
Your listing still appears in search, on the map and in every category filter. Boosting changes where you sit, not whether you are there.
If it is not the ticket commission or a boost you chose to buy, we are not charging you for it.
Two ways, both optional for you: the 15% commission on tickets sold through the site, and boosts businesses buy when they want more visibility. That is the whole model. We would rather have a directory full of every good family spot in the country than a short list of the ones willing to pay a monthly fee.
Yes. Free listings are the point of the platform, not a launch offer. If we ever add a paid feature it will be something extra alongside the free listing, never a fence around it.
Ticket money goes to your own Stripe account on Stripe’s normal payout schedule. We are not holding your takings — the commission comes off at the point of sale and the rest is yours.
No. A boost is a single payment for a set number of days. When it ends, your listing simply returns to its usual position and nothing is charged again unless you buy another.
If you cancel an event and refund your ticket-holders, our commission on those tickets comes back too — we do not keep a cut of a sale that did not happen. Get in touch and we will sort it.
Something not covered? Ask us — we usually reply within a working day.
Add your place or your event, free, and see what local families make of it.
