Farewell To The Legend

At the end of 2018, Raymond van Barneveld, also known as Barney, announced his retirement as a professional darts player. To celebrate Raymond van Barneveld’s farewell and career, the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam, will be renamed the ‘Barney Dome’ on Saturday February 8, 2020 and will be the backdrop for an evening full of darts, memories, entertainment, music and friends of RVB from both in and out of the darting world.

VIP packages are also available for this farewell event. The so-called "501 package" includes a unique one-off Limited edition set of Target RVB darts as well as dinner in the presence of Barney himself and other legendary darters. These VIP packages are available immediately.

Darts legends -including 16 x World Champion Phil ‘the Power’ Taylor, Wayne Mardle, Martin Adams, Richie Burnett and Bobby George- will be competing against RVB and other international celebrities including Robin Van Persie and Rafael Van der Vaart to win the Barney Dome Cup.

In addition to darts, live entertainment and music will be on show including Dutch rock band Navarone who will perform live during player walk-ons as well as playing some of Raymond's favourite songs for him. The rest of the musical program is still a surprise for Barney.

Furthermore, the evening is filled with memories and impressive highlights from Raymond's life as a professional darts player, that have changed the dart sport forever.

This year, Raymond van Barneveld's impressive professional career comes to an end. On Saturday, February 8, 2020, the Ziggo Dome will be renamed Barney Dome and the entire evening will be dominated by Barney, his career and the sport of darts in general.

A Q&A, you say?

"Hi there Barney. Why did you commit adultery against the lovely Sylvia?"

"A very exclusive “Limited edition” Barney Farewell to the Legend darts set especially and exclusive for this event developed by Target with wallet and signed player card. This set is available ONLY for this event, and unavailable anywhere else."

So these darts will only be available at this event and not anywhere else.
Until the day after the event, when they will suddenly become readily available on Ebay.

If I was paying €225 I would be wanting free drinks all night as well, not for half a bloody hour.

Raymonds favourite songs, eh? Sounds like an idea for a thread in itself.

"Ferris Barneveld's Year Off" - Matthew Broderick stars as mercurial but bone idle darts player Ferris Barneveld who, after promising Principal Hearn he would attend a full year's worth of events, gets his mate to phone in sick on his behalf, and instead does whatever he feels like for the rest of the year.

When Barney discovers that Sylvia is going to extremes to forget their relationship, he shacks up with a 30 year old woman whilst playing in the Premier League and gets the pictures splashed all over the tabloids.

The observant reader should have noticed that we are talking about a legend. Some respect is in order.

For the overview, I will be attending this event.

If I did, it would be the top package.

350 Euros for that abortion of has-beens.

No thanks.

Just another week and the wait is over.
