A music and nightlife ticketing app for venues and promoters, with a discover feed that recommends shows to fans.

In short

DICE is strong for club nights and gigs aimed at its app audience. Our published fees are lower than its Self Sign-Up rates, and we are built around Caribbean events.

Where DICE is stronger

A strong brand and a big audience of gig-goers who use the app to find shows.
A face-value waiting list run by DICE.
Relationships with many independent music venues.

Where we're different

Our published fees add up to less: a 6.5% booking fee plus a 2% platform fee on Starter, against DICE's 8.5% + VAT service fee plus 2.5% + VAT transaction fee on Self Sign-Up.
We do not hold back part of payouts as a rolling reserve.
Caribbean currencies for pricing, and a community built around Caribbean culture rather than gigs in general.

What we haven't built yet

We are in beta, and we would rather you hear it from us. Not available today: payouts to Caribbean bank accounts; promo codes, vouchers and marketing emails; team member invites with roles; reserved seating and seat maps. The full list is in what's coming soon for organisers.

What we couldn't confirm about DICE: Who pays the Self Sign-Up fees, supported currencies and offline scanning are not confirmed on DICE's own pages.
