This year's World Matchplay which is set to begin tonight with a bumper session of action including defending champion Gary Anderson and the tournament is on course to break the attendance record.
The current record is over 18,000;this is when Phil Taylor had his final year and claimed a magical 16th title at the Winter Gardens.
This year is set to surpass that though with the growth of the showpiece event in Blackpool evident. Only a number of tickets are still available through various ticket sellers including SeeTickets and the box office.
Monday is one of the only sessions with seats remaining with the standing ones even limited for the weekend sessions.

- It’s a (as good as) gauranteed £25,000 for not a lot of effort.Mysstree28-11-2024
- Pathetic. The media attention she would receive at the PDC alone would more than compensate her for the quiet WDF comp. And if she wins a match, which she is more than capable of doing, the attention would go through the roof. I do not see the attraction of winning a tin pot comp over the massive PDC Worlds.medinabello28-11-2024
- I think with players above those mentioned in the rankings that haven't qualified for the Worlds in 2023 and haven't done so this year (players like Whitlock, King etc) they are guaranteed to stay in the top 64davetat18027-11-2024
- It is simply not true to say that these 5 players are guaranteed to keep their Tour Cards. At least Karel Sedlacek, Dylan Slavin and Stephen Burton are in danger of losing them, especially if they fail to win their first round match. Connor Scutt, Wesley Plaisier and the three mentioned players will be fighting hard for their Tour Cards.mxxiv27-11-2024
