Please do everything in your power to not lose your ticket though. There is almost always a line at the box office, so protecting your ticket will be your quickest and easiest route to entry. We suggest you store it behind your cell phone case.

ON THE DAY OF THE EVENT:

Two hours before the event begins, you’ll be able to activate your ticket in the app and generate your unique QR code. Just follow these steps.
1. Open the DICE app. Tap the ticket icon at the bottom of the screen.
2. Choose the event.
3. Tap Activate QR code.

Once you activate your ticket, you will no longer be able to send it to a friend. If you bought tickets for a group and you’re arriving together, you can show everyone’s tickets on your device to the door staff. If you bought tickets for a group and you are not arriving together, please transfer the correct amount of tickets to your friend(s) prior to the event and prior to activating your tickets (more info below).

RESALE POLICY:

We believe tickets belong in the hands of fans, and that they should only ever be sold for a fair price. That’s why we have the Waiting List: if you can’t make it to a sold-out event, you can add your ticket to the queue to be purchased by another fan. Follow these steps to complete the process:

  1. Open the DICE app. Tap the ticket icon at the bottom of the screen. 
  2. Select the event. 
  3. Press "Return ticket to Waiting List". 
  4. Select how many tickets you want to sell, and tap "Return ticket". 

If the ticket is sold, you’ll get your money back – no drama, no rip-offs. Please note, tickets can only be added to the Waiting List after a show sells out. On top of that – and this is important – you’ll only get your money back if another fan buys your ticket.

You can also transfer a ticket to a friend. Follow these steps to complete the process:

  1. Open the DICE app. Tap the ticket icon at the bottom of the screen. 
  2. Select the event. 
  3. Press "Send ticket to a friend".
  4. Select the person you’d like to transfer to from your phone’s contact list.
  5. Then, choose the number of tickets you’d like to transfer, and press "Send ticket".

Please make sure that person has a phone number associated with their DICE account, and that phone number is saved in the contacts of your phone. After you transfer the ticket, it will be stored within the DICE app on your friend’s phone – there’s no fiddling with name changes, emailing PDFs, or sending across screenshots. It’s just another way we make sure tickets don’t fall into the wrong hands.
