Punters have been waiting for tickets for months as they pile in to watch the best players around battle for huge prize money.
But can you still buy darts tickets? We have all the information below.
Are World Darts Championship tickets still available to buy?
The short answer is yes – but you’re likely to pay a pretty penny and it will come with some risk.
World Championship tickets first went on sale way back in July and sold out in record time.
Darts supremo Barry Hearn claimed 90,000 tickets were sold in just 15 minutes and there was demand for 300,000-plus.
However, the quick sale sparked complaints from fans as tickets were immediately listed on resale sites and many times face value.
It has also prompted claims from Hearn that the tournament could move away from the 3,500-seat Ally Pally into a bigger venue that houses more spectators.
It means that there are no longer tickets available to buy on the official PDC channel.
However, there are other ways to purchase tickets.

How do I buy World Darts Championship tickets?
Tickets are still listed on multiple resale sites – although the PDC have stated they will cancel any tickets purchased through this method, so it will come at the individual’s risk.
The PDC website states: “We strongly advise fans against purchasing tickets on third-party ticket resale websites, including Viagogo and StubHub.
“We actively monitor all third-party websites and cancel any tickets sold via this method.”
It’s not clear how or if this will be enforced or if the PDC will make tickets available elsewhere.
Tickets on secondary market sites will also not come cheap, as well as having an added element of risk.
Research at the time of writing shows that the cheapest tickets now available are for the afternoon sessions on the first Monday and Tuesday.
Tickets for those sessions are also currently priced at between £100-£150 each.
Those wanting to see Littler in his first match of action on the Saturday night can expect to pay around £200 per ticket on secondary sites.
Final tickets are currently going for around £220 – but will likely increase in price the closer we get to that date.
Those looking to purchase tickets do so at their own risk.
