DICE Alternatives for Music Venues and Event Organizers

For a music venue considering DICE alternatives, ticket sales are only part of the decision. Fans need to find the show, manage their tickets and enter the venue; organizers need the corresponding sales and admission controls. Compare that concert experience first, then consider any classes or workshops the venue also runs.

AXS spans fan ticket management, marketing and venue operations. Ticketmaster’s Event Day tools address event creation, box-office work and entrance monitoring.

Which alternative fits your business?

Compare the fan journey and the organizer’s control of the event

A fan needs a clear route from buying a ticket to using it at the venue, including the options available when plans change. Waiting lists can affect that experience, but DICE’s published terms make their availability event-dependent. Joining a waiting list does not provide a universal refund guarantee. Organizer commercial arrangements also need to be established for the relevant event and market.

What DICE already covers

DICE's UK and Ireland self-sign-up terms describe a waiting-list resale flow for events where it is enabled. An original buyer can offer a ticket before the event's waiting-list deadline. If another fan buys it, DICE arranges repayment of the original ticket price to the first buyer. DICE sets the waiting-list price and deadline; offering a ticket does not guarantee that another fan will buy it. Separately negotiated organizer agreements have their own terms.

Alternatives shortlist

AXS for the fan journey and venue operation

AXS describes consumer ticket management, analytics, marketing services, venue operations and ticket-marketplace partnerships. It is relevant when the DICE replacement must address fans' ticket management and the venue's wider sales operation together.

AXS’s venue and fan services require a commercial proposal. The relevant scope includes ticket management, sales channels and admission; a smaller direct checkout should not be costed as if it replaced all three.

Ticketmaster for box-office and entrance work

Ticketmaster's documented Event Day tools address event creation, box-office operations and entrance monitoring. Staff can sell a ticket or resolve a fan's issue through the mobile box office, while the entrance team monitors scans. SafeTix uses a rotating mobile barcode tied to the fan account. Those ticket and entrance arrangements make it a venue-wide comparison, beyond publishing a new show checkout.

Venue services are priced through a commercial agreement, rather than the per-ticket self-service rate used by some smaller ticketing products. Box-office and entrance arrangements belong in that agreement.

Gomry for tickets alongside repeat activities

It fits a small or midsize venue selling show tickets alongside a recurring participatory program. Events provide admission to performances; Experiences and Bundles cover eligible activity bookings. Pack credit does not pay for a show ticket or reserve every workshop date. Preserve the ticket-management and waiting-list arrangements owed to buyers of existing shows.

Gomry has no monthly platform subscription. Standard USD online Event tickets carry a 3.9% service fee plus $0.79 per paid ticket, with payment processing additional. Current pricing distinguishes online sales, in-person transactions and other services; a ticket rate is not the total selling cost.

Eventbrite

Eventbrite combines event ticket sales with public discovery, promotion and organizer check-in tools. It also supports recurring event schedules. A move therefore has two parts: retaining the event’s purchase and admission workflow, and deciding how attendees will find it.

Ticket Tailor

Ticket Tailor supports recurring occurrences, seating, bundles and memberships, and publishes organizer MCP tools. Its ticketing features make it relevant to both individual events and a recurring program.

Humanitix

Humanitix combines ticketing with reserved seating, waiting lists, checkout questions and scanning. It directs profits to charity.

Weezevent

Weezevent offers ticketing, access control, cashless payment and staff-related event solutions. Its access product is integrated with the ticketing and cashless products.

TicketLeap

TicketLeap documents timed entry, recurring schedules, seating plans and a cart that can include tickets from several events by the same organizer. Checkout questions and waivers collect information before purchase; its apps support scanning and door sales.

Fienta

Fienta offers event ticketing and a website schedule, plus an organizer REST API and webhooks for orders, registrations and ticket validation.

Moving from DICE: costs and existing purchases

AXS. AXS’s public capability pages describe venue and fan services, not a universal import of DICE ticket credentials or recurring payments. The transition for tickets already sold depends on the venue agreement and admission setup.

Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster’s venue tools do not document a universal self-service import from AXS or DICE. Existing paid tickets, fan credentials and entry equipment need a venue-specific transition; they cannot be replaced by importing an email list.

Gomry. Contact CSV import does not recreate a fan's paid show ticket. Already sold admission and the capacity it occupies need reconstruction or a continued entry arrangement for the original tickets. The original payment record remains relevant to changes and refunds. Any workshop packs have their own remaining visits and bookings to preserve.

Published Gomry terms are available on the pricing page.
