DICE for book launches
Often £8 redeemable against the book — fees on redeemable tickets are pure friction.
The numbers for this event type
DICE doesn't publish standard rates — industry sources cite a fan booking fee around 10–12%. For book launches, that means the fee bill on 100 × £8 tickets is whatever your contract says; get it in writing before comparing.
Book Launches sell to considered buyers who read the page and notice checkout surprises — total-price honesty and clean refund terms matter as much as the rate.
Compared at book launches prices
The market computed on 100 × £8 — a realistic book launches scenario.
Figures computed from each platform's stated rate (2026-07-26 data review). Where a rate excludes VAT it is shown grossed-up at 20%. Card processing paid to Stripe/PayPal applies similarly on most platforms and is excluded. Quote-only platforms can't be computed — their rates are negotiated.
