TICKETS for darts' biggest summer event, the 2011 World Matchplay, will go on sale during February.
The World Matchplay will be held from July 16-24 at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool, with 32 players competing for the £100,000 first prize and the prestigious trophy, which was won by Phil Taylor for an 11th time last year.
The event will feature the top 16 players from the PDC Order of Merit - which currently includes World Champion Adrian Lewis, Blackpool's Ronnie Baxter and Fleetwood's Wes Newton - along with the 16 highest ranked non-qualified players from the Players Championship Order of Merit.
The nine-day event - screened live on Sky Sports HD - will begin on Saturday July 16 with the first of four successive evening sessions of first round action.
The second round will be played on Wednesday July 20 and Thursday July 21, with the quarter-finals split across two sessions on Friday July 22.
The semi-finals will be played on Saturday July 23, with the final being played on Sunday July 24.
Tickets will go on Priority Sale to PDCtv Annual Subscribers on Monday February 7, with users having an active Annual Subscription at midnight on Wednesday February 2 being eligible to purchase tickets in this period.
All remaining tickets will then go on general sale on Monday February 14.
Tickets are being sold as Floor Tickets first, with Balcony Seats going on sale once the floor has sold out, and Floor Standing tickets going on sale once the balcony has sold out.
Tickets will be limited to six per subscriber per session in the Priority Sales period and six per person per session when tickets are on general sale.
The Box Office information will be announced in due course and emailed to eligible PDCtv Annual Subscribers ahead of the Priority Sales period on February 7.
