Salary benchmarks
Our take
For a long time, the live music industry has been dominated by long-standing ticketing sites. However, consumer frustration with these sites has grown considerably in recent years. DICE solves this problem by offering a sleek and usable alternative to sites like Ticketmaster.
DICE was founded by a former consultant and record label founder, which has helped shape the company considerably. DICE’s main strength is its app, which balances engagement, discovery and ease-of-use. Compared to sites and apps such as Ticketmaster, DICE offers greater depth. This has helped the company to reach a valuation of around $400 million following an impressive raise in 2021. This is testament to DICE’s growing ubiquity.
Since raising $122 million in funding in 2021, DICE has set about expanding its operations, with an especial focus on the lucrative US & German market. So far, this expansion has fared well and, with the live music and entertainment industry experiencing a considerable upturn, DICE’s success is likely to continue.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at DICE
Zoë Collins (DEI Partner)
- We’re on a mission to create a platform for everyone
- DICE is dedicated to building a live events landscape where everyone feels that they belong, making our company and the industry fairer places in the process. We know that having a variety of perspectives makes us a better company, and it’s essential that our people represent the diversity of the fans we serve
- At DICE, each department shares a commitment to DEI in their goals, objectives and key results, and we’ve proactively developed five Employee Community Groups, which serve our employees of colour; women and femmes; LGBTQIA+ employees; neurodiverse employees; and parents and caregivers. These ECGs are set up to provide spaces for our staff to connect, grow and feel supported
- We are so proud of the inititatives we are launching, here are just a few examples! - Launched a compulsory Training and Learning Programme for all DICE employees, covering bias, privilege awareness, intersectionality and allyship, among other important subjects - We have grown our Global Belonging Programme – a set of events and initiatives to keep everyone connected and included at DICE
- We know that as long as inequality persists in our society, there will always be more for us to do in this space, and we’re excited to take on the challenge. If you have any feedback or suggestions that can help us with this work, please reach out.
