Think someone should give him a calculator. This averages out at 773 tickets per session sold in tbe first 2 hours and they are not even on general sale until the following Monday. Bearing in mind there is only a limited amount of the tickets availble on Priority sale, 17000 is a phenomenal amount.

Oh and as well as a calculator, perhaps a brain transplant may be in order.

And those 17,000 aren't proper darts fans of course. Those are the ones that sold out the WDT.

Suicide as far as your BDOF career goes I'm afraid.

Circuses used to be very popular until they banned live animals from performing. The clientele has just moved on. I wonder how many tickets have been sold to corporate outfits just out for a jolly.

According to BDO apologists Oche and Astonvilla they won't have to. ;)

If you choose to base your opinions on idle gossip then that's your prerogative. Every year for the past decade I have heard the ignorant spout "The BDO is Finished" yet it still continues.

People will have opinions which is better for various reasons but it is amazing news. Ticket sales probably exceed £500,000 already. By this time next week we will be probably be talking about 90-95% of all tickets sold 5 months before the event starts. It means that the PDC can now start planning for next year. New events, increased prize funds etc can all be started to be put into place.

Also don't forget that for each person who has bought a ticket already they are signed up to the LivePDC stream service.

Interesting point as they have to have the yearly subscription.
Or a load of ticket touts are signed up.

But you are not limited to 1 ticket per subscription. I have bought tickets for each of the sessions after the new year.
