We were built as the ‘People’s Palace’ and the darts totally lives up to that spirit, with the fans so crucial to the whole experience.“As a charity, we face a massive financial challenge. Revenue from events like the darts – as well as the snooker and our live music programme – is crucial to our survival.”And it is, as usual, proving popular. The official Professional Darts Corporation has just one ticket remaining on its fan-to-fan resale platform – in the family section – with every session’s original tickets sold out months in advance.\n\n\nhttps://twitter.com/PaddedSeat/status/1742610974190768393\nDarts fans want moreViagogo has tickets starting from the opening day going for over £100. It’s the hottest ticket in town.Hospitality, though, still has some capacity remaining – though it is expected to sell out.“People at the moment, post budget and post election, do want value for money,” Pitchside Hospitality chief executive Neil Bailey tells City AM. “If they spend money we’ve got to deliver for them – no one’s flicking money around all over the place [for the sake of it].“We’ve got 33 per cent more stock this year and we are expecting to sell that. Last year we had 33 per cent less stock and we sold about 75 per cent of that.\n\n“This year we’ve already sold more than that of our elevated stock. Year on year we’re seeing a great, big increase in demand, but also a diversity of people that are interested in it.”Pitchside Hospitality signed a five-year deal with the PDC for the World Championships, with packages ranging from food and general seating to Michelin star catered tables. PDC chief Matt Porter said: “We have seen interest levels in the hospitality offering almost double since [the Pitchside deal in 2023] and the quality of the experience has been significantly improved, building on what we were already doing.”The local ocheBut it’s not just the darts and Ally Pally that benefit from the World Championships being held in the capital. Gone are the days of walk-on girls but the sport’s association with betting continues through sponsor Paddy Power, despite growing concerns of increased legislation around betting sponsorship, and the boom in darts bars sees a footfall increase across the championships.“We always see a great increase in bookings over the festive period,” darts bar chain Flight Club told City AM. “With groups joining us for Christmas parties, festive catch-ups and, naturally, a few fancy dress pre-PDC groups.\n\n“We’re always thrilled to welcome the fans with our other guests, but we’re particularly proud to introduce Social Darts to thousands of guests every year who’ve never stepped up to the throw line before.”So while British kids are counting down the sleeps until Santa arrives, there’s a number of other rotund blokes ready to entertain the rest of us this year at the oche. There’s 27 sleeps to go: let’s play darts!","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.30.2","shortVersion":"4.30.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2484609536"}
