That was on original. I posted on real.

Between the groups there must be, what, over 12,000 members?

Will be some overlap but yes, thousands.

Fanatics waiting for the freebies or the TV coverage/streams, mate.

Session by session table ticket sales:

Wed = 5 (same as last week)
Thu = 12 (1 LESS than last week)
Fri = 4
Sat afternoon = 14
Sat eve = 35 (4 more than 2 weeks ago)
Sun aft = 6
Sun eve = 11 (2 LESS than last week)

TOTAL = 87!!!!

Yup, that's right folks. 16 tickets less than the Welsh cinema managed for 3 less sessions in 20 fewer days :D :D

And yes, two sessions with LESS sales than previous :D

Well done to Mgt who was the nearest.
I won!!! :D :D

Could have gotten it spot on if I hadn't been so mindlessly optimistic.......

Oh well, guess I'm just a 'glass is half full' kinda guy.

At some point tomorrow I will do a count of the event that is on in the venue next door on each of the 5 evenings, to see which is the more popular.

Maybe they could swap rooms :D

A ballet is one of the nights. Chubby Brown on the Saturday. An Everly Brothers tribute act on another. Dunno about the other two. I'll look tomorrow now.

As promised....

The venue has two big rooms: the Grand Hall (where the darts is), and the Charter Theatre.

On the nights the darts is in progress there are events on in the theatre:

- Wednesday Night: Table tickets sold for the darts = 5, Tickets sold for "20th Century Boy",a fantastic celebration of Bolan and Bowie with great music from the 70s = 79
- Thursday Night: Table tickets sold for the darts = 12, Tickets sold for "Frank Ifield Remembers", a nostalgic look back at his lengthy musical career, which spans more than 5 decades = 24
- Friday Night: Table tickets sold for the darts = 4, Tickets sold for "Walk Right Back", a musical story of the Everly Brothers = 290
- Saturday Night: Table tickets sold for the darts = 35, Tickets Sold for Roy Chubby Brown = 141
- Sunday Night: Table tickets sold for the darts = 11, Tickets sold for the Balley Cymru production of Cinderella = 68

Therefore the evidence is the darts should move to the smaller room, swapping with all the events above :D

Well spotted, I'd missed that salient point.
Obviously the Welsh dancers have been a bit more proactive the with A4 posters than Des
