You forgot to escape / in your regex.

It should be like:

RewriteRule ^event\/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)([\/]*) /event.php?event=$1 [NC]

There is no need to escape a `/` symbol in a RewriteRule, it does not use regex delimiters. OP regex [works as is](https://regex101.com/r/WcSoFP/1) even in PHP. – Wiktor Stribiżew Jul 14 '17 at 09:14
Good to know @WiktorStribiżew :) – funilrys Jul 14 '17 at 09:17
Of course it does, because your regex is equal to OP regex, which is also working. – Wiktor Stribiżew Jul 14 '17 at 09:18
I do prefer OP regex then :p php is so confusing with regex ! – funilrys Jul 14 '17 at 09:19
