He has already removed Martin Atkins from the draw and added Mark McGeeney to it instead.

The email in the other thread seems to suggest those are collateral damage and he doesnt give a toss.

[nikkiboy]

Well it's on!

Let's hope they sell some tickets

[BlueSpark]

Tell you where it is, but you still can’t buy a ticket, no idea on schedules and prices.
Question marks still over the qualifier, no idea on prize fund or what players will sack this off until circa 4
weeks before the event.
A momentous day.

Oh, you!

Patience. Before the end of the week all will be revealed.
Then the tickets will fly off the shelf.

[Zapp Brannigan]

I really cant see how this will be on but Ill wait and see.

5 times its showed to have zero interest by the fans, TV and most of the people there, it would a complete waste of time.

Me neither, Brett.

Well at least des agrees with me this time

[The Crusader]

Glad its sorted tbh, personally I would sell tickets at £5-£10 mark. Give out some to local dart acadamies, local leagues etc.

I would then add that those who purchase tickets via the official ticket seller get £5 off next year's price.

Get bums on seats, no way can you cover the costs this late but you can make a good start on next years event.

All good ideas so expect none of those to happen.

Nope, was giving serious ideas.

Surely they know this year is a big hit financially, plan next years now. Get people in cheap. Have some fun stuff so youngster's want to go back next year.

We all know the PDC is better quality wise but if my kids were young I wouldn't consider taking them to a PDC event, a friendly open BDO one with fun activities could well draw them in for years to come.

Talking about getting kids in. Is it correct the current new stars of the youth system won't be allowed to enter the qualifiers?

Apparently so. No real reason for stopping them.
