DICE Fees in 2026 —
What Do They Really Cost?
DICE absorbs approximately 10% in fees into the ticket price. There's no visible "booking fee", but your fans are still paying for it. Here's the full picture.
DICE Fee Breakdown
DICE takes a different approach to fees: instead of adding a visible booking fee, they absorb approximately 10% into the ticket's face value. This means the price appears all-inclusive, but the organiser effectively receives less per ticket.
For example, if you want your fans to pay £25 and you use DICE, you'd typically set the face value at £25 but only receive around £22.50 after DICE's cut.
| Face Value | DICE Takes (~10%) | You Receive | With Tickts | Extra Revenue |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| £10 | £1.00 | £9.00 | £10.00 | £1.00 |
| £25 | £2.50 | £22.50 | £25.00 | £2.50 |
| £50 | £5.00 | £45.00 | £50.00 | £5.00 |
| £75 | £7.50 | £67.50 | £75.00 | £7.50 |
| £100 | £10.00 | £90.00 | £100.00 | £10.00 |
The Hidden Cost of "No Booking Fees"
DICE markets itself as having no booking fees, which is technically true from the fan's perspective — there's no separate line item. But the ~10% is built into the ticket price, meaning either:
- The organiser receives less revenue per ticket, or
- The organiser raises the face value to compensate, meaning fans pay more anyway
For 500 tickets at £25, DICE's cut is approximately £1,250. Over a year with 10,000 sales, that's £25,000 going to the platform.
The Verdict
DICE has a slick app and strong presence in the live music scene. Their "no booking fee" marketing is clever, but ~10% is still being taken from somewhere. With Tickts, there are genuinely zero fees — you keep 100% of ticket revenue.
