Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.8
GPA, above 3 of the 45 other event ticketing platforms we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Dice, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Organizers build each event in its builder, so there is a learning curve.
- 1
Best for ticketing gigs, club nights and festivals
It publishes no organizer fees or plans, and its partner page covers music and nightlife events only.
- 2
It runs on 3 platforms
Web, iOS and Android.
- 3
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.
- 4
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.
- 5
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.
- 6
A 1.8 GPA, above 3 of 45
That is against the other event ticketing platforms we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 7
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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
