The free alternative to DICE
DICE is a curated, app-first marketplace that wraps a booking fee into the ticket price and pays organisers out after the event. Ticketable takes a different approach: no booking fee at all, money straight into your own Stripe, and a public listing isn't required.
Start selling free →On a £25 ticket, a ~10% marketplace booking fee is about £2.50 your buyer pays on top — roughly £1,250 across 500 tickets. Ticketable adds £0, so you can list at face value and keep the difference.

Running a ticketing platform isn’t as expensive as the big players make out. Ticketable covers its costs through small, tasteful, non-intrusive advertising — for example a discreet sponsor logo on the printable ticket. Nothing on your event page, and nothing that interrupts your buyer. That’s the only thing subsidising the platform — so you keep every penny of your ticket revenue.
Ticketable vs DICE — your questions
What does DICE charge organisers?
DICE folds a booking fee into the ticket price (industry estimates put it around 10–12%, split between DICE and the organiser) and doesn't publish a standard public rate — so confirm directly with DICE. Ticketable charges a flat 0% platform fee, with only Stripe's processing passed through at cost.
Do I have to be approved to use Ticketable?
No. DICE is a curated marketplace that approves events for its app; Ticketable is self-serve — create an event and publish it in minutes, no gatekeeping.
How do payouts compare?
DICE collects the money and pays organisers out after the event. With Ticketable, payments go straight into your own connected Stripe account and Stripe pays you out daily — Ticketable never holds your funds.
Is Ticketable really free?
Yes — no platform fee, no per-ticket cut, no subscription. It's funded by tasteful advertising on printable tickets, not by charging organisers.
