The BDO World Trophy begins on Wednesday at Preston Guildhall and ticket sales have been reported as only 196 as of the 23rd of May. This is bad news for the tournament which had dwlindling numbers last year as well when staged in Barry.
The figures were given by a member of the forum, The Stars of Darts (TSOD). The most alarming of which comes on the Sunday session where only 22 tickets in all with 8 for afternoon and 15 for the concluding session of the BDO World Trophy have been sold.
The most of which have been sold for the Thursday session where 49 in all, 21 more than the last figures released have been reported as being sold.
The lack of ticket sales is due to lack of interest, poor advertising and the PDC World Cup of Darts being held in the same weekend.
Buy tickets for the tournament starting on Wednesday here.

- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- It happens. Remember, anyone who has watched German and Dutch players in matches - their respective countries will have seen/heard just as bad jeering (if not worse). Taylor and MVG are two prime examples of professionals who are able to cope with the crowds mentally and not take it personally. This is not just an English crowd problem, FFS.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
