Pick Dice if

• Fits if you promote gigs or club nights and want tickets locked to phones
• Works for promoters who want resale kept inside the ticketing app

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want fees up front, as none are published
• Not for you if you run non-music events, since the partner page covers music and nightlife
• Watch out: tickets are tied to the buyer's phone and the QR code activates only 2 hours before doors
• Skip it if you want a free plan, as none is listed

MIO event builder

Organizers list shows in the MIO dashboard, which also shows sales and finances. The vendor says an average event takes under 2 minutes to build.

Device-locked tickets

Tickets are tied to the buyer's phone, with QR codes that activate 2 hours before doors, to deter bots and resale.

Closed-loop resale

Waitlist and transfers stay inside Dice, and returned tickets go back to the organizer at face value or with a resale uplift.

On-sale marketing

Fans set reminders and get an SMS before an on-sale, with Running Low alerts and abandoned-cart reminders sent automatically.
