Interest in darts continues to grow: tickets for World Matchplay sold in record time
PDC
Demand for tickets to the Betfred World Matchplay 2025 has never been higher. Within record time, all tickets for the prestigious darts tournament in Blackpool sold out.
From July 19 to 27, the iconic Winter Gardens will be the scene of another battle for the Phil Taylor Trophy, with 32 top darters competing.
Ticket sales began Monday with an exclusive pre-sale for PDC TV subscribers, and demand was overwhelming. Within one day, nearly all tickets were sold. In the second part of the ticket sale on Tuesday, for fans who had registered, the remaining tickets were sold out within minutes.
For those who were unable to get tickets, there is still an option to watch live darts in Blackpool. There are still tickets available for the Women's World Matchplay. This tournament will take place on Sunday afternoon, July 27.
In 2024, the World Matchplay was won for the first time by Luke Humphries. The world number one dealt with Michael van Gerwen (18-15) in an exciting final. Both men will be in the tournament again this year, as will reigning world champion Luke Littler. The field consists of the top 16 players in the world rankings and the 16 best Pro Tour players.
HUMPHRIES IS THE CHAMPION! 🏆

- Ridiculous the booing for both these players in the final in Germany tonightListerAnderson03-04-2025
- May only have won two PDC Majors but thats two more than most players will ever win. He wasn’t lucky either to beat Taylor and MVG, he outplayed them.Mysstree29-03-2025

- The next prodigy (prodigies) are just round the corner. Wonder if it gets to the stage of 180 after 180 being hit leg after leg whether there will be a modification to the equipment such as reduced doubles and trebles, reduce the size of the board or length of the oche?Mysstree25-03-2025
- obviously littler has the potential to surpass everybody simply because nobody has been this good at this age before, but people who think he would be any kind of favourite right now against prime taylor in a big final have short memories. it's obvious that prime taylor wouldn't win as many world titles if he was playing today, but there's also good reason to believe he'd be winning more than anybody else. hell, his statistical profile still stands alone in darts history and he might statistically be even better if he was playing today with better equipment, larger beds, more competition therefore more motivation, etc.colt24-03-2025
- Bad idea. Every other Major ranking title prize funds added together do not come to £1 million. Add £500k to the prize pot and spread it out evenly over the draw.Mysstree24-03-2025
- Jake Paul is an arrogant American attention seeker. It would be nice to see - Usyk knock the arrogance out of him... but take his time in doing so.MrYnyslas197123-03-2025
- The Premier League is a glorified promotional tool for piss heads to attend and shout abuse at dart players so averages are not the way to pick the best line up. Throw Peter Manley, Eric Bristow and Jocky Wilson into the mix for some real fireworks.Mysstree22-03-2025
- Concentrate on your darts, Jake Paul would knock seven sacks of **** out of you. Add free site please.Mysstree22-03-2025
