# Dice review (2026): is it worth it? > Ticketing app for gigs, club nights and festivals Checked Nov 12, 2026 ยท graded Nov 12, 2026 by ToolGPA. 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. - **Category:** Event Ticketing - **Made by:** DICE FM Holdings Ltd (since 2014) - **Website:** https://dice.fm - **Runs on:** Web, iOS, Android - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you want fees up front, as none are published. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 12, 2026 ## Pricing Dice's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site. ## 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. ## Good for - Club nights, gigs and festivals that sell to younger crowds - Promoters who want tickets locked against touts - Venues that want one dashboard for sales and door ## 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. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 1.8 out of 4**, graded Nov 12, 2026. 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. - **Value for money: C.** No fees or plans are published, so it sits at C by default. - **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan or trial on record; getting started means creating an account or talking to sales. - **Features: C.** An 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. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. Organizers build each event in its builder, so there is a learning curve. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, iPhone and Android; the listing names no integrations. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Dice's own pages on 12 November 2026.

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. - You could make: Reports: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox. - You could not: Selling tickets and checking them at the door. - You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it. ## What people say - **App Store rating of the iPhone and iPad app:** 4.9 out of 5 from 86,576 ratings in the United States, read Nov 13, 2026. This is the store's rating of the app, not a score from ToolGPA.
