Des really should be on the phone to groupon, get it on with a decent discount and they could have a chance to fill the place. No one else is gonna pay full price.

It really is too late now we are into December, people have different priorities. Black Friday been and gone, that was the last big chance really.

10 months on and re-reading this is guaranteed to generate a laugh.

“They have more money to throw at the game”
Er, no they generate huge sums of money, there is a difference
Reading that again has made me laugh

Aye people seem to think Barry Hearn bankrolls the whole operation ffs

Amazing what a product that both sells tickets and attracts sponsors will do. But it's not "proper darts" so it doesn't count.

Tbf to Wayne, he has at least equalled the BDO official promotion volume with this...

Aye, to probably all the same people who see it on the BDO page already. Utterly pointless.

Hmm i cant see this post on the Shownights page now. Has he cancelled the comp?

Wayne, just stop it. Stop it now. Show some self respect, this is the organisation that threatened to take you to court ffs!

Beyond embarrassing.

What happened to his promise to never have anything to do with the BDO again?

Worst thing is he wont actually be getting paid for this and is doing it off his own back.

Why? Not going to help his own sales is it (not that he needs the help, his exbo there in the New Year is near sold out anyway)

Breaking news - they sold a Tuesday evening ticket over the weekend!

just quickly checked the final, another 3 tickets sold in the last 4 days. what a spectacle that last day is going to be !

I think even Wayne knows deep down he is having zero effect, hence why he deleted the competition post.

All he is doing is advertising it to people on closed groups/ pages who know the event is on already and therefore have had no interest in buying them.
At least make some sort of attempt at advertising to a wider audience that aren’t aware of the event.
He’s flogging a dead horse.

All that kind of malarkey costs money and obviously nobody is willing to spend it. Comes down to the arrogance of "we have never had to pay to advertise ever", aye but we dont live in the 1980's anymore with only 1 darts org, 3/4 television channels and no internet/social media.

Up to 125 shares now at least he’s halfway
