## Shortlist

### 1. TicketSpice

Flat 99¢-per-ticket ticketing for events and attractions, with in-house payments and a box office app.

**Where it improves on DICE:**
- [Donations and tips: yes — Buyers can add a donation to an order with a donation field, or give without attending through a donation ticket level; the field carries no platform fee while a donation ticket level pays the 99¢ per ticket fee, and checkout can ask donors to cover the processing fee rather than tipping the platform.](https://help.ticketspice.com/en/articles/2829765)
- [Your buyers’ details: yes — Organizers get ticket holder names, emails and custom answers as exports, and can email those past attendees from the platform's own campaign tools.](https://help.ticketspice.com/en/articles/13849063)
- [Reserved seating: yes — Buyers pick seats on a chart the organizer builds, with pricing tiers per seat, holds, tables and pods, and a seat-view preview on mobile.](https://www.ticketspice.com/features/reserved-seating-event-ticketing-system)

**Trade-offs against DICE:**
- [All-in price at checkout: partial — It depends on how the organizer configures the page: the vendor warns that its separate line item fee often breaks the FTC all-in rule and recommends absorbing fees or using the pass-on setting instead.](https://help.ticketspice.com/en/articles/9299044)
- [Waitlist: no — The vendor states plainly that no waitlist exists today and points organizers to its sister product RegFox if they need one.](https://help.ticketspice.com/en/articles/8706176)
- [Website builders: partial — embed only: the documented route for Squarespace, Wix, Weebly and WordPress is pasted iframe, pop-over or widget code, not a platform-specific plugin or app.](https://help.ticketspice.com/en/articles/11068100)

### 2. Tixr

Enterprise live-event ticketing and commerce platform with quote-only fees.

**Where it improves on DICE:**
- [Your buyers’ details: yes — Studio collects 90+ data points per fan, the data belongs to the organizer, and it is exportable into CRMs, CDPs, warehouses and email tools, with Tixr stating it never sells or shares fan data.](https://creators.tixr.com/products/platform)
- [Reserved seating: yes — Buyers pick seats on interactive, branded multi-level maps with best-available logic and view-from-seat visuals, and general admission sections can sit on the same map as reserved inventory.](https://creators.tixr.com/products/reserved-seating)
- [API: yes — Tixr documents open APIs and webhooks with public endpoints for event listings, purchase data and CRM connections, so organizers can build custom integrations without a native connector.](https://creators.tixr.com/products/integrations)

**Trade-offs against DICE:**
- [Sign up without a sales call: partial — A self-serve tier exists for smaller organizers, but every call to action on the site is "Get a demo" or the contact form and the self-serve tier has no published sign-up route or price.](https://creators.tixr.com/products/platform)

### 3. Ticketmaster

Enterprise ticketing for venues, teams and promoters, sold through its own marketplace.

**Where it improves on DICE:**
- [Your buyers’ details: yes — Clients get their buyers as addressable audiences inside TM1, which segments fans who completed purchases and fans who scanned in for the first time and runs email campaigns to them; raw export of names and emails is not described.](https://business.ticketmaster.com/client-marketing-self-serve-tools/)
- [Reserved seating: yes — Fans pick seats on real-time interactive seat maps that show all available inventory with a seat view, and organizers draw the floor plan and allocate seats behind it in TM1.](https://business.ticketmaster.com/solutions/ticket-sales/)
- [Email to buyers: yes — TM1 Marketing includes self-serve email alongside came-from codes and audience segments, so clients can target past purchasers in their own database for the next event and report on the campaign.](https://business.ticketmaster.com/client-marketing-self-serve-tools/)

**Trade-offs against DICE:**
- [Card processing: partial — Card processing is bundled inside Ticketmaster's share of the service fee rather than charged separately to the buyer, but no processing percentage or per-order amount is published anywhere on its help or business pages.](https://help.ticketmaster.com/hc/en-us/articles/9663528775313-How-are-ticket-prices-and-fees-determined)
- [Refunds and transfers by buyers: partial — Buyers can pass tickets to a friend themselves for free when the organizer has enabled transfer, but self-serve refunds do not exist: all sales are final and refunds are limited to what the organizer authorizes.](https://help.ticketmaster.com/hc/en-us/articles/9786975926673-How-does-Ticket-Transfer-work)
- [Sign up without a sales call: partial — Once you are a client, event build and marketing are genuinely self-serve in the browser and an event can publish in minutes, but you cannot sign up and sell today: access to TM1 starts with a 'Work with us' inquiry handled by an account team.](https://business.ticketmaster.com/work-with-us/)

### 4. Posh

Social event platform with organizer dashboard, all-in ticket pricing and a consumer discovery app.

**Where it improves on DICE:**
- [Your buyers’ details: yes — Organizers export buyer names, emails and phone numbers per event as CSV, sync them into a Mailchimp audience, and message them by SMS blast, though exports are per event with no org-wide download and no imports.](https://support.posh.vip/en/articles/15267292-export-event-report-downloading-your-attendee-info)
- [Support on event day: yes — Support is reachable by email at support@posh.vip and by live chat on the web and in the app, with a dedicated customer success manager named for scaling organizers; no phone line or support hours are published.](https://posh.vip/university)

**Trade-offs against DICE:**
- [Card processing: partial — Stripe processes the payments and card processing is bundled into the single Posh service fee rather than charged separately, but the vendor's pages never state the processing rate itself.](https://support.posh.vip/en/articles/15075671-ticket-management-creating-ticket-tiers-groups-and-advanced-toggles)
- [Sell on your own website: partial — An iframe snippet puts the event and ticket selection on your own site, but clicking checkout or login sends the buyer to a Posh-hosted page, and the vendor states the full payment flow cannot stay in the iframe.](https://support.posh.vip/en/articles/15076421-checkout-settings-customize-the-attendee-s-experience)
- [Website builders: partial — embed only: Posh gives you a copyable iframe snippet to paste into WordPress, Squarespace, Wix or Webflow, with no dedicated plugin or app named for any of them and no Shopify mention; each event embeds individually.](https://support.posh.vip/en/articles/15076421-checkout-settings-customize-the-attendee-s-experience)

### 5. AXS

AEG-owned primary ticketing for arenas, theatres, festivals and teams, sold through a demo request.

**Where it improves on DICE:**
- [Reserved seating: yes — Tickets are issued to a named seat location and AXS asks buyers to check their seat selection before completing checkout, and it sells premium and suite seating for venues; the pages we read do not show the chart itself.](https://www.axs.com/about-purchase-agreement_US_v6.html)
- [Email to buyers: yes — AXS sells clients a marketing-services suite aimed at finding new fans and selling more tickets, and gave Florida Theatre integrated marketing capabilities; its pages do not say the organizer sends the emails itself.](https://solutions.axs.com/us/marketing-services/)
- [Support on event day: yes — Buyer support runs by live chat and ticket form from 8am to 10pm CST on weekdays and noon to 10pm at weekends, with a US helpline on 1-888-929-7849; client support hours are not published.](https://www.axs.com/about-purchase-agreement_US_v6.html)

**Trade-offs against DICE:**
- [Card processing: partial — AXS takes card, debit and PayPal payments, and says a client can instead process the sale on its own payment processor so the venue's name shows on the statement; no processing rate is published on any page we could read.](https://www.axs.com/about-purchase-agreement_US_v6.html)
- [Refunds and transfers by buyers: partial — Buyers can pass tickets to someone else from their AXS account, normally with no fee, and can list eligible tickets through AXS Official Resale, but purchases themselves are non-refundable and a promoter can switch resale off.](https://www.axs.com/about-purchase-agreement_US_v6.html)
- [Sign up without a sales call: no — There is no sign-up for organizers: every AXS Solutions page ends in a demo request form, and the business site says AXS will get in touch rather than letting you set up an event today.](https://solutions.axs.com/us/contact/)

### 6. Tickeri

Latin-focused concert and nightlife ticketing with marketplace distribution and a free scanning app.

**Where it improves on DICE:**
- [Your buyers’ details: yes — White Label organizers are promised their buyers' data and customer list to market to directly, with full visibility into sales and revenue.](https://www.tickeri.com/sell-tickets/white-label)
- [Reserved seating: yes — Buyers pick from a seating map, and organizers block or release individual seats and tables, though map changes are capped at ten saves a day.](https://docs.tickeri.com/en/articles/11380843-transparency-first-tickeri-launches-all-in-pricing-to-improve-the-ticket-buying-experience)
- [Support on event day: yes — Bilingual phone support on 888.981.7218 runs Monday to Sunday 10:00am-6:00pm EST, plus in-dashboard instant messenger and hola@tickeri.com by email.](https://www.tickeri.com/contact)

**Trade-offs against DICE:**
- [Card processing: partial — Cards are processed by Braintree or Tickeri's own card processor, and the rate is never published, only called a service charge.](https://www.tickeri.com/terms)
- [Sell on your own website: partial — White Label puts a branded checkout on the organizer's own domain rather than redirecting to Tickeri, but it is sold through a demo request, not self-serve.](https://www.tickeri.com/sell-tickets/white-label)
- [Refunds and transfers by buyers: partial — Buyers cannot refund or transfer on their own: sales are final and a name change on an order requires contacting Tickeri support.](https://www.tickeri.com/help)

[View Tickeri](https://boxofficefees.com/tickeri)

### 7. Etix

Venue-focused primary ticketing with box office, scanning, patron data and marketing, sold by quote.

**Where it improves on DICE:**
- [Donations and tips: yes — Organizers can take donations at checkout alongside tickets and memberships, and buyers may set a donation recurring; nothing says checkout asks buyers to tip Etix itself.](https://hello.etix.com/clients/donations-memberships)
- [Your buyers’ details: yes — Etix says the organizer owns its ticket-buyer data outright, and the Etix Community CRM lets you sort buyers and export them into your own email campaigns.](https://hello.etix.com/clients/music-venues)
- [Reserved seating: yes — SeatSuite builds seat maps from a venue's existing charts and buyers pick individual seats, with seat views offered from all levels and sections.](https://hello.etix.com/clients/ticketing)

**Trade-offs against DICE:**
- [Card processing: partial — Etix runs card payments through its own processors, but says clients may instead connect their own payment processor; no processing rate or who bears it is published.](https://support.etix.com/purchasing-tickets/etix-says-sorry-this-card-is-not-accepted-when-i-try-to-purchase-what-can-i-do)
- [Refunds and transfers by buyers: partial — Buyers can transfer or forward their own tickets through Etix Wallet and Account Manager, but self-service refunds do not exist: all sales are final bar a cancellation.](https://etix.com/ticket/online3/purchase-policy.jsp)
- [Sign up without a sales call: partial — The core Etix platform is sales-led: every page ends in a demo request or a call to corporate sales, while the TutuTix dance line advertises self-service account setup in minutes.](https://hello.etix.com/schedule-demo)

### 8. ThunderTix

Box office and ticketing software billed per ticket, with your own card processor and nightly deposits.

**Where it improves on DICE:**
- [Donations and tips: yes — Buyers can add any amount during ticket checkout or give on a standalone campaign page, with optional round-up-to-$5 and monthly recurring giving; card-paid donations cost the organizer 2% and checks are free, and the vendor states no fee is shown to the donor.](https://www.thundertix.com/features/accept-donations-online/)
- [Your buyers’ details: yes — Buyer records belong to the organizer: names, emails and purchase history sit in a built-in CRM you can filter twelve ways, email directly, sync to Mailchimp or Constant Contact, or export as CSV, and the vendor says it never claims ownership of that data.](https://www.thundertix.com/features/customer-database-management/)
- [API: yes — A developer API is listed as included on every plan, alongside an MCP connector that lets Claude or ChatGPT query live sales, attendance and order data from the account.](https://www.thundertix.com/online-ticketing-software-pricing/)

**Trade-offs against DICE:**
- [Card processing: partial — ThunderTix does not handle the money itself: on the General Admission, Reserved Seating and White Glove plans you connect your own Stripe, Square, Braintree, Authorize.net, Moneris or Elavon account and pay that company's own rate, so ThunderTix publishes no processing rate of its own.](https://www.thundertix.com/frequently-asked-questions/)
- [Website builders: partial — embed only: the vendor names WordPress, Wix, Squarespace and Weebly, but the integration is a standard HTML snippet you paste in rather than a plugin or app, and Shopify is not named anywhere on the page.](https://www.thundertix.com/embed-codes-to-sell-more-tickets/)

**Trade-offs against DICE:**

- [Refunds and transfers by buyers: partial — Buyers log into a portal to reprint tickets and change the will-call name, and printed tickets can be handed to a friend, but refunds are requests judged by the organizer under an all-sales-final policy.](https://prekindlesupport.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/12000060852-can-i-get-a-refund-)
- [Sign up without a sales call: partial — Sign-up is open and free, but the account must be verified and approved by the Prekindle team by email before any event can be created or sold.](https://prekindlesupport.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/12000092744-account-verification-and-approval)
