The Tickets For Troops organisation provides tickets for major events to serving military personnel and any veterans who have been medically discharged through injury since 2001.

The PDC are providing 2,000 tickets for the Ladbrokes.com World Darts Championship to Tickets For Troops, meaning servicemen and women will get to see the world's best darts players in action at Alexandra Palace.

Eligible service personnel register through www.ticketsfortroops.org.uk and make £1 donation per booking of two tickets, which is donated to charity.

"Tickets For Troops is a tremendous campaign and we are delighted to be able to assist in this way," said PDC Chairman Barry Hearn.

"Our troops do an amazing job around the world and never have they been valued more than at present."

Tickets For Troops director Jonathan Mervis said: "We are delighted to get the Professional Darts Corporation on board with Tickets for Troops.

"We really feel we are beginning to make a difference to the lives of our servicemen and would like to thank everyone for their fantastic support."
