🎯Darts World Championship 🎯

[LoveTheDarts]

Anyone else watching yet? 🎯

We do have a PDC membership but IIRC the tickets went on sale in the middle of a working day so it wasn't possible to be waiting with multiple devices etc. Also caught out a bit because it hadn't been like that even a couple of years ago. Yes, they said about 40% of ticket sales went to Germany this year.

Missed yesterday evening as was at football, will catch up while at work today. Think the final 4 is about right though

I think this year is the last year of the contract for the Ally Pally. Will be interesting to see if they consider a move to somewhere bigger

The PDC always put every event on sale at something like midday on a working day. We both WFH most of the time so can easily block out 15 mins to sort tickets. I agree if you don’t have a job with similar flexibility it will be almost impossible to access tickets for the WC.

A lot of big sporting events all seem to do that for some reason. Almost none go on sale at say 11am Sunday or even early evening when surely most people wouldn’t be working.

Yes Barry Hern has been quite open about the fact a move away from Ally Pally is likely I think.

I have to say, for us it's a PITA to get to either driving or public transport (we live on the south coast and have previously driven because of the unreliability of trains over Christmas). So a move would be interesting from that POV as well as for ticket availability.

Hearn has hinted a move to Saudi though like the snooker - maybe not for the worlds but it's all about the money. He mentioned in Game of Throws about there being vast areas of the world that haven't been conquered yet.

Yup absolutely wouldn't surprise me if more moves to the Middle East. As long as Maychplay stays in Blackpool I'll be happy . Love Ally Pally but it's an expensive/long trip for us and also going a bit too football crowdy!

Bah!

As expected!

LETS GO BUNTING MENTAL

I know but hope is the thing with feathers

Yes would have loved Dobey to get through .

I did enjoy MGV swearing and Sky having to apologise though

Is it bad that I really really want Bunting to win but also really really want to go to bed and not sure I can hack a comeback!

I've just been saying the same. That's the problem, having watched it every night since the break I've got darts fatigue tonight.

Well done Luke. Inevitable really.

Aww gutted, to lose 6-1 with a 100 average is just crazy.

Right backing Littler for the final now, come on Luke!!

All sat waiting for the final. Can't wait!

Can't believe it's nearly all over for another year!

It goes so quickly after the Christmas break

Bull double 10 to check out. So cheeky

I reckoned this would be 7-4 Littler but not so sure now...

Delighted so far but still nervous. Come on Luke!

Set 4!
