WTF are you on about? I have been down at this for the last two years and could only get rooms through hotels.com as I had phoned the Gleneagle nearly two months in advance and they were booked out, this tournment is the top PDC tournment in Ireland and attracts a big crowd so I dont know why you are having a go at dartgod he is just trying to help!.

TRUST ME YOU WILL FIND NO PROBLEM finding somewhere to stay at a good price killarney can accomidate lots of big events and trying to tell people otherwise is complete and utter bull****......i live in killarney and play the local dart circut so i know the numbers that attend so stop talking through your hole:pac:

Carrickman

Calm down man, I'm not talking about Killarney I'm talking about the Gleneagle which was booked out this past two years (where by the way I will not be staying this year as I would rather stay in town). That is what the above poster is on about he is just advising anyone who wants to stay in the hotel to book early, theres no need to be so rude.

dionsiseire

Agreed Carrickman

Calm down or Bugger off Franckerfurter, we dont have time for people who are here to just cause aggro.

Degag

Just to reiterate about booking the Gleneagle as soon as possible if you want to stay there.... The number of events on there over a weekend can be frightening, even on a quiet weekend.... so get booking! Don't worry if you can't get it though... The Dromhall and Brehon are 2 minutes walking distance (right next door!)

the glen eagle is about 8 mins walk outside town ..i wasnt being rude but if everybody ruses to book the glen eagle they will get ripped off ye muppets

Dartgod

My ! My ! My ! There's always one !
Of course you can get cheap accommodation in Killarney but if you want to mingle with the top players and get free admission into the darts tournaments in the INEC on Saturday and Sunday then the Gleneagle Hotel is the place to book.
Free admission to the tournaments also applies to those staying in the Gleneagle sister hotels, Brehon, Scott's etc.

I was saying that those two hotels were 2 minutes walk from the Gleneagle, not from the town centre.

I think the general concensus is that it would be easy to get accomodation in killarney but some people will want to stay in the glen and the glen only so i don't really see what you are argueing about.

Breaking News ! ! !

It's looking good for Phil Taylor to be competing in the Killarney Darts Festival in October.

Plans are being finalised at the moment for an Exhibition Tour in Ireland for the days leading up to the Killarney event with exhibitions being arranged in Galway, Kilkenny and Killarney.

Dartgod

Colin Lloyd is the first of the PDC Professional players to enter the Gleneagle Irish Masters at the 2009 Killarney Festival.
After his big win in the U.S. last weekend where he won the Players' Championship in Atlanta Lloyd has hit top form at the right time for his trip to Ireland in October to compete at the City West and the Gleneagle.

Hopefully, many more PDC players will follow - - -

Good news...the more the merrier !

If you enter to play in one competition, does that get you entry to others as a spectator or do you have to pay admission every day?

Dartgod

There is an admission fee of 10 Euro per day for spectators on Saturday and Sunday.
Competitors and residents at the Gleneagle Group of hotels and apartments have free admission on all days.

So if a woman enters Sundays Ladies Singles would she have to pay admission on Saturday

Dartgod

I will check that out and get back to you.

I know that a lot of women came for the weekend last year and only played in the Ladies' Singles on Sunday but they stayed in the Gleneagle and had free admission for the weekend.

I'll be back - - -

This has really pissed me off, why should residents of the Gleneagle get free admission, I live in Killarney and my wife has to pay €20 to get in if I compete on the the Sat and Sun, add that to the €50 entry fees (or €130 if I don't fancy the Friday night) and it's an expensive weekend. There's a feckin' recession on ye know. By living here and not booking one of there overpriced hotel rooms Killarney residents are getting ripped off. Are we subsidising Phil 'feckin' Taylors appearance money

not been smart here but i think your lucky living were you are , there is a gang of us that have travelled down from dublin the last two years , we pay 209 euro each for the room, 65 euro for the train, 15 euro for a bus into heuston , then your 50 or a 100 euro into your competition. so add that up and it cost alot more than your 70 euro or 130 . i know that money is tight at the moment but if i was living were you are id be happy to pay what your paying for a great weekend of darts which is on your door steep.

Any Double !

I'm afraid its even worse than you think. If you look up the calendar on the PDC website it shows many other Players Championship events this year are now closed to the general public. This of course would be very unfair on the players involved if they could not bring a family member etc especially if they needed a safe and sober driver to to drive them home afterward. I believe they allowed each player 2 passes each to avoid this.
Roll on then to Killarney and again I believe the PDC mulled over the idea of closing it to the public. Thankfully the good folk at the venue wouldn't have this....probably as it would be a financial nightmare.... so the public can still come to watch but non-players and non-residents have to pay a E10 fee to enter. I suppose it helps recoup some of the E60,000 prize money put up by both the venue and their sponsors. I guess E10 is about price of admission to a cinema these days so is still pretty good value to see many of the top players in action. However the concession of 2 passes per player is ...in my eyes...very unfairly not allowed here. As C/Boy rightly said earlier we are in a recession and already as players paying E100+ to play. Also as entrants have to be PDPA members to be eligible to play, then part of this entry fee ....[and I hope Dartgod is looking in and will confirm this].... goes to the PDPA to make us all honorary members for the day to avoid breaching their rule. Goalposts are being moved many times here to accommodate both the venue and both darts bodies so surely they can allow us as players to have our couple of passes !

Are you for real? If you are good enough to play in this, then surely you must have aspirations to get into the prize money. Where do you think the organisers are going to come up with the €60k prize-pool?

Do you think its fair that residents of the hotel have access to the leisure facilities of the hotel free of charge and Killarney residents dont? Its prety common that hotel residents are entitled to facilities that non residents are not entitled to.

And lol at Killarney residents "are getting ripped off"! Killarney residents are lucky to have the people behind the Glen Eagle hotel group who have the foresight and the ambition to bring a tournament like this to killarney. If you think its a rip-off, then vote with your feet and stay at home.

Paying €10 for a days entertainment watching some of the best players in the world playing in a competetive athmosphere is not imho being "ripped off". It seems like extremely good value to me.

Connie

dionsiseire

i still havnt decided weather to go or not, if i go i wont be staying in the glen eagle, will be operating on a budget

i'd also be doing the qualifier and the saturday, if i didnt make the sunday tournament i'd watch and train home later, would have to be in dublin for monday for work thou

Exactly what I will be doing, as although I love playing I have absoulutely no interest in watching Taylor etc.
