Dice launches in the US
By Andy Malt | Published on Friday 29 September 2017
British ticketing firm Dice has announced that it is launching in the US, initially offering tickets via its app in San Francisco and LA.
Says Dice founder Phil Hutcheon: “We’re focused on a younger demographic that’s fed up with how ticketing is. They’re disengaging and we need to be careful because live music is in competition with Netflix. With bars. With eating out”.
He adds: “If you keep screwing over fans they won’t come back. Dice is the ethical platform that fans trust to get tickets. We get fans in, keep scalpers out, and we have ambitious plans to roll out across the US in the coming months”.
Among the US shows now available through Dice are performances by Sam Smith, Khalid and Matthew Dear, as well as Vevo’s Halloween event in San Francisco.
