Where TicketWave differs
Full White-Label Branding
Custom domain, logo, colours, and branded emails included on every tier. Your ticket pages look like your website, not a third-party platform.
Customer Data Ownership
All buyer data belongs to you and is exportable. DICE operates a discovery app where attendees become DICE users; TicketWave does not sit between you and your customers.
Built-In Affiliate Programme
Give promoters and influencers unique tracking links with tiered commissions and automated payouts. Useful if your events rely on street teams or PR reps.
Published Pricing
TicketWave pricing is published on the website and starts at 4% + €0.50 commission with no monthly fee. Tiers auto-unlock by volume. DICE pricing is negotiated per venue and not publicly listed.
Embeddable Widget
Add ticket sales to your own website with a single line of code. DICE sales happen exclusively through the DICE app and website.
Stripe Connect Payouts
Revenue goes directly to your Stripe-connected bank account in 2–3 business days. DICE manages its own payout schedule, which varies by arrangement.
