A new record has been set in the sale of Premier League tickets for next year's event in Rotterdam. The popular leg of the coming together of the best players in darts in a league format has sold out in just 5 minutes with it always being a real curtain raiser before the finals night at the O2 Arena.
The event is boosted by Michael van Gerwen, the World Number One who will be looking to potentially retain the title he just denied Peter Wright last year at the O2 and despite the line up not being announced yet, Raymond van Barneveld should be back again further strengthening the tournament.
Last year it sold out in 8 minutes so this new record shows how popular the tournament is and it will be interesting to see if the new leg in Berlin sells out as quick as Rotterdam with the Euro Tour's being very high populated affairs and the sport being massively popular in the country with a new World Series of Darts event underlining this fact later this month including home heroes Max Hopp and Martin Schindler hoping to topple the big names in World Darts.

- It also gives new tour card holders something to aim for early season...Thomas Moffatt29-10-2024
- Loving the concept as I was a fan of the old BDO tournament and it is great to see they are following it...Thomas Moffatt29-10-2024
- That's the thing, Richie. I used to love the Lakeside walk on; Fitton, Madness, and many others too. As I stated in a much earlier post, I used to attend Lakeside (when the cash allowed it) with my late old man - late 80s, early 90s and enjoyed it immensely. How times have changed, sadly.MrYnyslas197129-10-2024
- Yes, indeed. I have been watching darts for over 40 years and like to think I have good knowledge of the sport, but I haven't heard of most of these players. I really miss the characters like Wolfie, 2 Hotty, Fitton, O Shea, Hankey etc. All my friends ask what happened to the Lakeside darts as they were casual fans who never had SKY and only watched and attended Lakeside. I understand age is probably an issue now and form, but only Paul Lim would motivate me to attend and cheer on. Maendl-Lawrance will send the crowd to sleep. He makes Justin Pipe look like Ricky Evans. If this tournament was mixed, Beau would be the outright World Championrichieburnettrocks29-10-2024
- This tournament is now pretty pointless. Years ago,it was fantastic, Wolfie, Waites,Atkins, Robson etc. But now not many average above 80!!rick6728-10-2024
