DICE for hackathons
Often free or nominal entry — you need a platform that charges nothing on free tickets.
The numbers for this event type
DICE doesn't publish standard rates — industry sources cite a fan booking fee around 10–12%. For hackathons, that means the fee bill on 150 × £10 tickets is whatever your contract says; get it in writing before comparing.
For hackathons, invoicing, VAT receipts and group bookings matter alongside the rate — and percentage fees sting at B2B prices.
Compared at hackathons prices
The market computed on 150 × £10 — a realistic hackathons 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.
