But in feedback received by the PDC on fans at these events, it was overwhelmingly positive with 100% saying they felt safe with the measure in place.
Up to 1,000 fans were at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes from May 24-28 and all completed a survey with further figures stating 98% said they were sufficiently informed of the safety measures ahead of their attendance, while 81% would attend another socially distanced PDC event and 75% would recommend a socially distanced PDC event.
Comments from fans included: "The whole event was faultless. Staff were brilliant, rules well followed by all. One of the best PL events we've been to," and "Really enjoyable night of darts. Felt safe.'
