Go to a lot of smaller shows, been using DICE for a long time - I think they dominate the smaller venues (in the UK at least). They've made tickets as easy as Amazon made ecom.

Alerts when for when tickets go on sale, (almost one click!) buy for friends and share, bans if you sell over face value, and (for a lot of places) you can return tickets to the pool to resell if you can't go (so there's often last minute waitlist tickets). It's all super smooth and a genuinely delightful experience.

Rooting for them too!

DICE are owned by Fever as of 2025.
DICE is a great experience, but I hate that they have no option to buy tickets without installing and using their app. It should at least be possible from a website, come on...
Awesome.

Everything you're stating sounds alot like Tixel in Australia.

Tho I'm not sure they manage the venue / original ticket sale. More of a scalp free marketplace.

Only place I will buy or sell tickets.

DICE is awesome. I'm bummed when I need to use anything else. I rarely ever need to use Ticketmaster.
