Packed crowd in Dortmund: PDC Europe announces record European Championship with 33,000 tickets sold
PDCWednesday, 22 October 2025 at 19:30
The European Championship is already making headlines before the first dart: As the PDC Europe announced in a press release on Wednesday evening, the previous spectator record of 30,000 tickets sold was already broken one day before the start of the tournament.
33,000 fans are already expected to attend the big Euro Tour season finale in Dortmund's Westfalenhalle. "Darts inspires people all over the world - and Dortmund is a prime example of this," says Werner von Moltke, Managing Director of the PDC Europe. "33,000 tickets sold before the start of the event impressively show how much the sport has arrived in Germany. This development makes us very happy. This makes the European Championship the second largest continuous darts event after the World Championship."
Littler, Humphries lead field
Luke Littler, Luke Humphries among others lead the way in regards to the top names involved in Dortmund with defending champion Ritchie Edhouse not set to return to the tournament after not qualifying.
The local fans can also look forward to a real darts spectacle from a German perspective: with Martin Schindler, Ricardo Pietreczko and Niko Springer, three hopefuls are represented in the field of participants. The Wall, who will challenge England's Dave Chisnall on Thursday evening, will be the first of the trio to start the tournament. Niko Springer will open the Friday evening session in a duel with last year's finalist Jermaine Wattimena, while Ricardo Pietreczko will challenge World Cup champion Josh Rock later in the evening. A real reason to buy tickets.

- At what point does this dozy, dull as dishwater nobody belong in the almighty premier league. He has the whipping boy this year , barely progressed in any of the majors and lucked his way to the World semi. A nothing player.richieburnettrocks12-11-2025
- The Germans and the Dutch are far worse when they play each other. What is your opinion about that? The big money is in England and that is where most of the events will stay. Not forgetting, MVG is quite repugnant - at times. There is huge bias for English players - due to the fact that this event is being played in England. Other countries do the same thing... and rightly so. My advice is... stop being so anti-English and wind your neck in a little. Thank you.MrYnyslas197111-11-2025
- Obviously they meant Luke Woodhouse not lego head. My wife had numerous friends around at the weekend who were disgusted with most of the players appearance...lego head, bunting etc but all of them said Luke Woodhouse was best looking and sexiest.richieburnettrocks10-11-2025
- Ridiculous booing there from the crowd during Van Gerwen's Match. It is about time they moved these tournaments away from all being in England, huge bias for the English players. Sky have done an awful job of cutting all the walk-on music off tonightListerAnderson08-11-2025

- As good as Beau is, she would have struggled against Trina in her prime. Trina would have beaten most of the men in those days. She was absolutely dominant but won such a disgracefully low amount of prize money. It is great to see her backrichieburnettrocks06-11-2025
- While i do not think dart players should be paid a wage or even expenses it is ludicrous that you get nothing for turning up on the Pro Tour and losing in the first round whereas the officials are being paid a wage. Should have left the World Champion prize money at £500k and split the other £500k down the ranks. A side note to this. Would not surprise me the reason that Warriner Little and Chris Mason are not being retained for TV coverage is because of their support and backing to the players.Mysstree05-11-2025
- Probably go 1. Wright, 2. Anderson, 3. Wilson, 4. Thornton. Hard to compare Wilson to the other three as his career was over early PDC (WDC). Thornton has two PDC majors, outplayed Taylor to win the UK Open and outplayed MvG to win the Grand Prix and both were in their prime. Wright does have 7 PDC Majors whereas Anderson has 5.Mysstree05-11-2025

- Remember watching this and it’s not quite how it unfolded. Waites did play well however when they went off for a break with Wade well in the lead it was almost as if a different Wade came back. Probably one of his bi-polar episodes which was not so widely known then. I still include the GSOD as being a Major even when it was not officially classed as such so in my eyes Scott Waites is the only non PDC player to have won a PDC Major and is a far bigger win in terms of prestige than either of his BDO World titles.Mysstree04-11-2025
