Best for ticketing gigs, club nights and festivals
Dice is a ticketing app and organizer toolset for gigs, club nights and festivals, with tickets tied to the buyer's phone and closed-loop resale. It publishes no organizer fees or plans, and its partner page covers music and nightlife events only.
Who Dice is for
- 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
Who Dice is not for
- 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
Why Dice gets a 1.8
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo fees or plans are published, so it sits at C by default.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan or trial on record; getting started means creating an account or talking to sales.
- CFeaturesAn event builder, device-locked tickets, closed-loop resale, on-sale marketing, door tools and extras, but the partner page describes music and nightlife events only.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. Organizers build each event in its builder, so there is a learning curve.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, iPhone and Android; the listing names no integrations.

Keep Dice, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Dice you would be making email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 34 of the 45 other event ticketing platforms grade higher.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox.
- Selling tickets and checking them at the door.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
What this rests on. Dice’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Dice?
Dice is a ticketing app for fans and a sales platform for promoters, venues and festivals. Fans buy mobile tickets locked to their phone and get recommendations based on taste. Organizers build events in the MIO dashboard, and the vendor does not publish what it charges them.
Worth knowing
- 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.
Key features
- 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.
