CHICAGO (CelebrityAccess) — DICE, the independent ticketing platform, announced an exclusive partnership with Chicago’s independent Summer Smash Festival.
The deal marks DICE’s expansion into the Chicago ticketing sector, expanding on the company’s U.S. footprint that already includes partnerships in New York City, Miami, and Toronto.
The festival, which takes place from June 14-16, features a hip-hop-heavy lineup that includes headliners Travis Scott, Playboy Carti, and Chief Keef.
“As Summer Smash continues to grow larger each year, we are excited to partner with DICE to make the ticket-buying process much easier for our patrons. With collaborators like DICE on our team, we can elevate a fan’s entire festival-going experience from the initial point of purchase through the final performance on Sunday night,” said Berto Solorio, Summer Smash Festival Cofounder and CEO of SPRKBX.
“Summer Smash is legendary. As the biggest independent hip-hop music festival, they align with DICE’s own independent values and are the perfect partner,” said Russ Tannen, President at DICE. “We’re excited to bring fans in Chicago more of the nights out they love with a seamless and transparent ticketing experience and are grateful to our inceptive partners including Sleeping Village, Spybar, and Chop Shop, who have shared our mission of getting people out more from the start.”
