How's it going to look on TV if the only member of the crowd in screenshot at any time is an absolutely plastered Belgian in a funny hat, shouting incoherently, spilling his drink, and tripping over his own feet every time he tries to high five a completely disinterested player during their walk on?

That'll have the companies queuing up to sponsor future events.

Wasn't Jackie featured in an ad campaign? :)

How many sponsors came into BDO darts (from a generic advert not even about the BDO) on the back of it, Chris?

About a smart energy meter or something wasn't it?

A few weeks later, exact same venue, OK no site map but the "best seat" available which was offered to me is on Row H of the Balcony.
I remember Wayne Dobinson proclaiming the promotions team at the o2 were "second to none" and the venue would have no issues selling tickets :WWWW:

How did that work out for them?

I'm sure he's said they haven't used them.. Not totally sure but I think he said that on Fanatics... maybe that's an extra cost ?

I feel that giving away free tickets won’t improve the numbers, as fans living faraway from London will conclude that hotel and travel costs won’t make it worth them attending.

....and paying £6/£7 a pint once in there

Its why the Warren Brown play to bus in the counties to London to go to his pipe dream event didnt work, think only 12 counties were actually interested.

Plus "Fanatics" notoriously don't turn up even when it's free.

Found it but Jackie wasn't in it.
Must have been something else he was in

Mitchell vs Bennett and Jacklin vs Ashton clearly not drawing the punters in that night.

Not selling a single ticket in the space of at least 10 days for a whole day of darts taking place in little over a month though is an absolute shocker. Even the Welsh cinema did better than that.

Thought Mitchell v Bennett might arouse a bit of interest amongst the fanatics.

Paula lumbering her way to her traditional straight sets defeat is one strictly for the purists though.

Hardly anyone is interested in these events any more.
I’m sure it will sink in one day.
Ticket prices more expensive than Ally Pally is insane.
