Dice Mobile Ticket Platform Has No Booking Fees

Greetings readers. Have you ever wanted to rock away a star-studded Saturday with Britney Spears or spend a sun-drenched afternoon drumming it up with Drake? Well to darn bad, because the overpriced tickets had sold out three seconds before they were released. Buying concert tickets today is like trying to get HAL-2000 to open the door to let you get into your computer to buy the tickets that sold out.

I know, that is very frustrating.

Alright, enough tongue-in-cheek chit-chat. Let’s talk about the future. And that future is Dice.

What Is Dice?

The two-year-old London-based ticketing startup Dice touts their service as a live music discovery and mobile ticketing platform targeting the 16-39-year-old market (millennials). The utilize a mobile platform that generates a QR code, cuts out the middle man, eliminates booking fees and sadly, is only available in selected outlets in London.

The Good News

Dice successfully closed a $6 million Series A funding round led by Evolution Equity Partners. That brings their funding to almost $10 million. I am sure they will put all of that hard-earned dough to good use. And if they can’t think of anything, hire me, I’m your guy. Be advised there is a small retaining fee of $10 million.

Dice has built quite a formidable team; focusing on algorithms to fine-tune their digital offerings. They are taking significant steps forward to ensure that they just don’t push tickets, but to ensure they do it in a sustainable way; offering recommendations for the best concert experience for both concert-goer and artist.

We want to help you find the best gigs, clubs, and festivals, so we only list the best gigs, clubs and festivals. Our events list is curated, handpicked by a team of music experts with too many late nights on their CVs.

We’ve worked with incredible acts from Adele, Taylor Swift, Disclosure, and Skepta to newcomers who’ll be just as big in a few years, like Whitney, The Big Moon, SG Lewis, and Liss.

Music is at the heart of DICE and we want to help you discover more of the jaw dropping stuff that happens on your doorstep. That new DJ that every blog’s raving about? You’ll find her on DICE. The new band who play your local now but’ll be headlining festivals in three years? Check DICE. That stadium filler you adore whose tickets always sell out before you even find out the gig’s happening? You need us.Dice

Summary

I know that was more of a Dice 101 than it was about their funding per se, but I think I covered all my bases. Hopefully they expand their service or someone comes up with something similar in the US; we are drowning in fees!
