BDO World Darts Trophy, 28-30 May - now at Lakeside (CONFIRMED)

[The Mannaheir]

Very true, that was wrong too. They learnt!

And how many days to go?

20. What is your point? You do know sales generally drop as time goes on dont you, the fact that its dropped to 25 tickets a day already from an initial 50-75 a day proves that straight away.

Another 25 a day from this point will leave the place at 40% capacity over the 3 days, and its a reduced capacity than normal as well.

At the initial rate of sales after 3 days it was heading for a 85% sellout.

What is the capacity ??

For this event it seems to be 746 per day. It's more than that usually, it's a totally different table layout this time. Round ones, by the looks.

Do you think they modified the booking system especially to accommodate the new tables?
What kind of finish are we talking. Hardwood? Laminated?

Probably not, given its more than likely a standard seating setup for other events they do

Did Ross and Deta do a draw for an event they are both entered in? I'm guessing not!

Its drawing balls out of a bag, hardly anything they can fix

[ChrisW]

You should have a bag of balls for the PL Comp Ginge. I will make it happen for Rotterdam. My treat.

My new random draw procedure is fine, thank you

[ChrisW]

Oh go on. Orange ones to celebrate the PL coming to the land of cheese.

That's quite enough discussion about Ginge's ballbag, thank you.

Is that correct or just a standard template layout on the web site ?

Well they would have the "Lakeside darts" template saved so why not just use that one?

Usual Lakeside capacity is what, about 1100? They obviously werent confident enough to whack that template up and put one up with 350 less seats a day on it

They were told on Friday they were hosting it and were in a rush to get it up and running.

If its an existing template on their system (and it will be as they have used Patronbase the last 2 years), its a case of clicking a few buttons, Scott. So no need to "rush" anything.

As said, its clearly been done as they have no confidence in selling over 750 tickets a day.

Depends on the bag ask Avalon
