Re: The now Unofficial and Unsanctioned BDO "Worlds" Tickets 2020 Updates
So we're all in agreement that Wayne's promotional efforts so far have been a little, shall we say, lacklustre.
There is another way of looking at this. I'm in no way suggesting this is what I think has happened, only that it's a possibility.
Could this be a brilliant example of revenge being a dish best served cold?
After that farce with Des and his kangaroo court, Wayne said he'd never work with Des or the BDO again.
Then, when Des announced his masterplan to leave Lakeside and take his world championship to the Indigo, there were rumblings that Wayne had used his connections through his Shownights gigs to assist making it happen.
Everyone at that early stage knew it was a crazy business decision for the BDO, but they went ahead with it anyway.
Now, as it's quite predictably dying on it's arse, up pops Wayne saying "Don't worry Des. I've got all my contacts I can use to help out. You just get yourself some winter sun in the Canaries and leave the heavy lifting to me."
And then this is what he's come up with. If Des complains, he just turns round and says "At least I tried mate".
As I said, this is nothing more than a theory of what might possibly have happened, but if it's anywhere near the mark, you've got to hand it to Wayne. He's done Des up like a kipper.

I also assume he can only work with the material he has. If the BDO and/or the venue are only willing to give away one set of Final tickets, give away no others, offer no discounts etc, what else can he do?

Re: The now Unofficial and Unsanctioned BDO "Worlds" Tickets 2020 Updates
Oh, I agree the most likely scenario is he's doing what he can with what he's got to work with, and given how little that is, you can't blame him for just going through the motions.
I just thought I'd throw my little conspiracy theory out there for a laugh.

Yes you can't really blame Wayne for this.. They approached him.. He has no budget to properly advertise and cannot just give tickets away.. This was a huge mess long before Wayne.. The buck stops at Des and those who voted for Des
Re: The now Unofficial and Unsanctioned BDO "Worlds" Tickets 2020 Updates
He hasnt even put yesterdays "giveaway" on Twitter, thats how much he cares.

Tuesday evening hadn't changed a couple of days ago. They've sold some more for Monday and Wednesday though, might even reach three figures on Monday afternoonGinge wrote: ↑Wed Dec 11, 2019 10:29 amA cursory look at Tuesday because its the easiest to do.......still 39 for Tuesday afternoon (2 days after that count), and not sure about the evening but maybe a couple more, all going very well.Ginge wrote: ↑Tue Dec 10, 2019 10:30 amOver 4 days later and I count 37 for the Tuesday afternoon, I assume the other 2 were on the balcony before it was blocked off.

The mythical three figure barrier, we are in uncharted territory now.

I don't really follow what shownights offer on their nights but I presume they are mostly PDC players ? and ex PDC retired names ?
If so even his 'database' of customers will be of the wrong demographic for these 'tickets' or 'promotions'
Also doesn't anyone else think its odd that a multi uber millionaire businessman of the year fails to know or have a proper contact in promotions and advertising ?
Re: The now Unofficial and Unsanctioned BDO "Worlds" Tickets 2020 Updates
Wayne is sincere. Doing it for the players rather than des.
No plan to get back at des.

Re: The now Unofficial and Unsanctioned BDO "Worlds" Tickets 2020 Updates
I said this months ago before the o2 was announced, Wayne was harping on that if he could fill the place then the BDO could also, completely forgetting that one night of PDC players and legends in a exbo is totally different to filling 14 sessions of "second tier" darts. I said back then he was talking crap.
Look who was right. Me. Mememememe. MEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Looking forward to the BDO Disciplinary hearing, they may ban me from entering events, I would be distraught.

You'll probably just get sentenced to being on the receiving end of empty threats from Jacklin junior on social media.

No conspiracy here at all.

So its just "Wayne really can't be arsed and said yes just to be polite", fair enough
