Dice vs Xceed (2026): which should you pick?

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

Pick Xceed if

• Fits if you run club nights and want guest lists and table booking
• Works for promoters in Spain who want to be listed on its app

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want to know the fee first: none is published
• Not for you if you work outside Spain, as its city list is all Spanish
• Watch out: it says getting started is free but shows no fee schedule

Dice

• No organizer fees or plans are published; getting started means creating an account or talking to sales.
• Tickets are tied to the buyer's phone, and the QR code activates only 2 hours before doors.
• The vendor's partner page covers music and nightlife events; other event types are not described there.

Xceed

• The pages read do not publish a ticket fee, so the cost of selling through Xceed could not be confirmed.
• Xceed says getting started is free, but its fee schedule is not shown on the pages we read.
• The city list on the consumer home page is entirely in Spain.

Dice

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.

Door tools

Dice Access scans tickets, and the On Site App takes contactless payments at the entrance.

Extras and audience data

VIP upgrades, camping and drinks can be sold in one checkout, and MIO reports audience age, location, taste and sales.

Xceed

Ticket sales with dynamic pricing

Organizers set early-bird releases, quotas and visibility rules, and can use dynamic pricing, promo codes and discounts.

Guest lists

Guest lists are tracked in real time, with priority access for VIPs and staff and accounting for promoters and sales channels.

Table and bottle booking

Venues draw their own floor plans, price by area or single table, and collect payment for tables, bottles and VIP packs before the event.

Access control app

A multi-device scanner app checks guests in, captures walk-ins and keeps working without an internet connection, syncing afterward.

Analytics and promotion

Real-time booking stats, peak-hours analysis and Facebook Pixel and Google Analytics hooks, plus promotion on Xceed's own listings.
