- **9 of 11** of the things you need, confirmed on the published pages of DICE
- **7 of 11** of the things you need, confirmed on the published pages of Resident Advisor
- **2** things you need that Ticket Fairy includes and we did not find on the other platforms' pages

## The short answer

Which should you choose?

### DICE's strongest features

- DICE states that 41% of tickets sold via DICE are prompted by its Discovery recommendations.[1](#source-1)
- For sold-out events, returned tickets are offered to fans on the Wait List, each with a reserved buying window.[2](#source-2)

### Resident Advisor's strongest features

- RA processes promoter payments every Tuesday, with funds landing 1-3 days later.[3](#source-3)
- Deposit schemes let buyers pay for tickets over £60 in installments set by the organizer.[4](#source-4)

DICE suits you if you want fans to find your shows through its app recommendations and a Wait List for sold-out nights. Resident Advisor suits you if you want weekly payments and deposit schemes with your own installment prices and deadlines.

## Why event teams choose Ticket Fairy

Why do club promoters choose Ticket Fairy over both DICE and Resident Advisor?

You can be paid daily as tickets sell, so ticket money is in your account while you pay the next night's DJs and staff. Fans resell at face value, spare tickets go to your waiting list, and you can send email and text campaigns to the buyers who came last time.

- Your fans can resell and transfer tickets at face value, and each returned ticket is offered to the next fan on your waiting list.[8](#source-8)
- You can promote your events with email and text campaigns, promo codes and referral rewards.[9](#source-9)
