You'll have no bother getting table tickets but to get decent ones get in as early as you can.

Friday night is easily the best with the quarter finals and the fact its a weekend night, but I'd recommend checking out the Monday or Tuesday as well if you can, tickets are half the price of Friday and you get to see 8 games so plenty of different players.

Will miss it this year for the first time in yonks as the missus due date is around that time

would love to be able to check out the 1st round nights but travelling up from Waterford a few times a week or affording the hotel fee is hard enough. Ill be up for work early monday morning so ill try for tickets then

I drove up from watrrford with a pal last year for the monday night. Drove straight back after and was home by 1am. Very doable

mdwexford · 10-04-2014 10:15am

Tickets in the bag for Friday.

Row G, Table 6.

Cant wait already.

Glad my missus is due in August Kev

Kingp35 · 10-04-2014 10:35am

Cormacs72 · 11-04-2014 11:02am

Friday night sorted. Took ages for Friday tickets to come up. Rang the Ticket line to be told all sold out :eek:. Started to head for a longneck in the fridge with the shock and depression. Took a chance and tried online a few minutes later and got them. Get in

sc86 · 14-04-2014 3:38pm

just got 6 tickets for table seat r on pdc site for friday
nearly forgot all bout it!

PTH2009 · 14-04-2014 6:40pm

missed out on getting the friday tickets so got 4 for the thursday night instead and then they put the friday ones on sale.

A bit annoyed but happy to be going to any of the nights

robman60 · 14-04-2014 8:49pm

Hi guys,

I'm hoping to attend for the first time this year. I'm trying to get a group of friends to go as we've been planning on going for a good while. Do tickets for Thursday night sell out quickly? I'll book ASAP but trying to get money off people will take me a few days.

You should be ok for a bit for the Thursday night, it's the Friday night that is the only night to sell out quickly.

mirwillbeback · 17-04-2014 11:25am

robman60 · 20-05-2014 1:54pm

Just booked 10 tickets for the Thursday night! Will be my first time going, hopefully I'll be in college in Dublin next year too if the LC goes well, so travelling should be convenient.

mirwillbeback · 05-08-2014 2:52pm

PTH2009 · 15-09-2014 3:40pm

Going by experience of the Friday the last few years

- Only residents with a card are allowed into the hotel bar after the darts it does stay open late
- Draw should be sometime soon
- Yep players tend to stay in the hotel and you'll often see them walking about the place during the day and early evening

Enjoy, its a great night, although personally prefer the Friday to the rest. Worth considering the Monday and Tuesday too, cheap and with 8 games you get to see plenty of players

mdwexford · 24-09-2014 2:39am

More messing with the format.

Semis now best of 7 sets and the final best of 9.

Stupid considering the prize money on offer, best of 5 change for the quarters a few years ago annoyed the crap out of me.

robman60 · 06-10-2014 1:28am

Heading on Thursday, can't wait. Just started college up in Dublin and 9 of my school friends are coming from all around to get some good darting action.

What time would people expect proceedings to be coming to a close at on that night? Of course it depends but my friends are asking me if we'll go to town after but I figure it'll be too late.

mirwillbeback · 06-10-2014 11:50am

Hi,

I have a spare room available for this Friday in Citywest bought for 180, will sell for 120 - for 3 adults and will allow you enjoy the buzz back in the residents bar.

PM if interested.

Thanks

Devastator · 06-10-2014 12:30pm

Does anybody have any news on Taylor?

I seen he got beat 6-0 in last 16 on Saturday but doesn't look like he played on Sunday?!? He's due to play Steve Beaton tonight, could be see the bronzed adonis with a big upset on night 1?

It's unlikely but you never know. Taylor has "previous" when it comes to getting knocked out in Round 1 of the Grand Prix. I wouldn't read into the Players Championships though, he probably just wanted the day off on Sunday to get ready for the tournament. The players really enjoy this tournament because they get to stay in the Citywest Hotel, use the golf course etc. so he probably just wanted to chill out for the day.

Kingp35 · 06-10-2014 7:43pm

Lads are the darts on in the new or the old hall this year? I can't really tell on the TV.

KevIRL · 06-10-2014 7:51pm

New hall it looks like to me. Similar to last year

Kingp35 · 06-10-2014 7:59pm

Pity, I prefer the old hall. It's going to be long night tonight!

Me too, went up Monday and Friday of last year. Alas no visit for me this year as MrsIRL is due to pop out JnrIRL any day now

KevIRL · 06-10-2014 8:58pm

Well done Mickey Mansell, great win

seoirsem · 07-10-2014 12:01am

Needle between Lewis and Gurney at the end??? Seemed to be in each others ear after the match whilst shaking hands with referee and markers. Gurney seemed to point to the side of the oche, I'll watch it again but I'm almost certain that when Lewis missed the double 10 in the last leg, he seemed to put his darts in his pocket whilst walking back, ie in full view of Gurney who then missed 25. Having said that Gurney did try the blind 180!!! Great match in fairness.

sc86 · 07-10-2014 12:31pm

2 tickets left for friday night, table seats

anderson very impressive last night on a format not best suited to his game
mansell had good win

Lads whats the balcony section like in the new hall? From reading old threads it had a bad rep in the old hall anyway

PTH2009 · 07-10-2014 5:54pm

The main question I want to know does the bar sell cider or vodka, not a big fan of beer ???
