Why Venues Switch from DICE to TicketWave
Own Your Audience
DICE builds its discovery platform with your customers. When fans buy through DICE, DICE owns that relationship. With TicketWave, every customer is yours — their data, their email, their loyalty.
Your Brand, Front and Centre
DICE tickets live on the DICE app and website. Your venue becomes one listing among thousands. TicketWave gives you a fully branded box office with your domain, logo, and colours.
Built-In Affiliate Programme
Turn your PR teams and promoters into tracked sales channels with tiered commissions and automatic payouts. DICE has no affiliate programme — promoters cannot earn from ticket sales.
Transparent, Lower Fees
DICE negotiates fees per venue with limited transparency. TicketWave starts at 3% commission with no monthly fees. You always know exactly what you are paying.
Embed Anywhere
Add ticket sales to your own website with a single line of code. DICE only sells through their app and website — you cannot embed their checkout on your site.
Faster Payouts
Stripe Connect means money in your bank in 2-3 days. DICE typically settles after events with longer payment cycles.
