Evnts vs DICE
Evnts vs DICE: your own link, your own payout.
DICE is built for gigs and club nights, with fans discovering shows in its app and tickets kept in-app against resellers. Its US self sign-up adds 13% to each ticket and pays you after the show. Evnts adds no fee and the money lands in your own Stripe account as you sell.
Free · works on any phone · no app for guests

What does a ticket cost in fees?
DICE's US self sign-up adds a 13% service fee to the face value and the fan pays it; card processing is included. On Evnts there's no fee on top, and Stripe's standard card fee comes out of the host's payout.
| Ticket price | DICE | Evnts |
|---|---|---|
| $10 | $1.30 (fan, processing included) | $0 (Stripe's card fee only) |
| $20 | $2.60 (fan, processing included) | $0 (Stripe's card fee only) |
| $50 | $6.50 (fan, processing included) | $0 (Stripe's card fee only) |
From DICE's US Self Sign-Up terms (updated April 2026); larger promoters sign negotiated terms. DICE's fee includes card processing; Evnts' $0 doesn't, so the host covers Stripe's card fee. Checked October 2026.
When DICE is the better pick
- You put on gigs or club nights and want fans who browse the DICE app to find you.
- Resale is a real problem for your shows: DICE keeps tickets in its app, and its Wait List passes returned tickets to other fans.
- You want extras and merch, checkout through Spotify or YouTube, or a DICE team helping with marketing and booking.
- You sell on the door with DICE's box office.

Questions
What does Evnts charge on paid tickets?
Nothing. The money goes to your own Stripe account and Stripe's standard card fee is the only fee. Guests can add an optional tip to Evnts at checkout; you can switch that ask off.
When do I get paid?
On your own Stripe account's payout schedule, as tickets sell, not after the show. Evnts never holds the money.
Do fans need an app to get in?
No. Each paying guest gets a pass with a QR code and a door code on their phone; a screenshot works, even with no signal.
