The countdown is on for the 2025/26 Paddy Power World Darts Championship, and we’re excited to reveal full details of this year’s tickets on-sale process.
Following unprecedented demand for tickets to the 2024/25 World Darts Championship, the ticketing process has been updated as below for this year.
PDCTV Annual Members Early Access Window
Tickets will initially go on sale to PDCTV Annual Members from 1200 BST on Monday August 4 for 24 hours.
To qualify for the PDCTV Annual Members Early Access Window, you must:
• Hold an active PDCTV Annual Membership by 2359 BST on Sunday July 20
• AND be opted in to receive emails from the PDC (ticket links are sent via email only)
This exclusive window for PDCTV Annual Members will close at 1159 BST on Tuesday August 5.
Members will be able to purchase a maximum of six tickets per session, for up to two sessions per member.
Fans are advised to know which tickets they are looking to purchase before ticket sales commence.
Please note that all transactions on the SeeTickets website have a time limit of seven minutes to be completed once tickets are added to your Basket. If you do not complete payment during this time, those tickets will return to sale.
Important: Make sure your email preferences are up to date on PDCTV - only members who have opted in will receive a ticket access link.
Fans who sign up for a PDCTV Annual Membership after 2359 BST on Sunday July 20 will still enjoy all the amazing benefits of PDCTV - including:
• Live PDC tournament streaming (geographical restrictions may apply)
• Exclusive interviews and features
• Classic match replays
• Access to the PDC archive, and more
However, fans who sign up after the deadline will not be eligible for the PDCTV Annual Members Early Access Window from Monday August 4.
Free-to Register Ticket Ballot - Opens Wednesday August 6
Following the PDCTV Annual Members Early Access Window, a free-to-enter ballot will be open to the general public for any remaining tickets.
• Registration for the ballot opens at 1200 BST on Wednesday August 6

If you have already registered with us for World Darts Championship Ticket Updates, you will be automatically entered into the ballot! You’ll receive an email confirming this before the ballot registration opens.
Ballot entrants will be randomly selected, and all successful applicants will be contacted via email with instructions on how to complete their ticket purchase in a Second Ticket Window, which will open at 1200 BST on Wednesday August 20.

FAQ FOR FANS
How many tickets can I buy?
Each eligible PDCTV Annual Member can purchase up to six tickets per session, for a maximum of two sessions.
When do tickets go on sale?
The initial ticket window opens to PDCTV Annual Members on Monday August 4 at 1200 BST and closes on Tuesday August 5 at 1159 BST.
How do I become eligible for the PDCTV Annual Members’ Early Access?
You must:
Hold an active PDCTV Annual Membership by 2359 BST on Sunday July 20
Be opted in to receive emails from the PDC (ticket links are sent via email only)
If I’ve opted out of PDC communications and no longer receive PDC emails, how can I ensure I receive future ticket communications?
To ensure you receive ticket access emails:
• Log into your PDCTV account at video.pdc.tv.
• Select ‘Manage Your Account’
• Go to ‘Billing and Shipping Information’
• Update your email address to a new email address which can receive communications from the PDC. If you have opted out of receiving emails, we are legally not able to send future emails to that specific email address.
Your current email address cannot be used if you’ve opted out. You must update your email address by 2359 BST on Sunday July 20 to ensure it is active in time for the PDCTV Annual Members’ ticket window.
What if I become a PDCTV Annual Member after the deadline Sunday July 20?
You’ll still receive all the benefits of PDCTV for the 12-month period of your Annual Subscription. However, you will not be eligible for the PDCTV Annual Member Early Access ticket window for the 2025/26 World Darts Championship on August 4.
What happens after the PDCTV Annual Member Early Access window closes?
Should any standard tickets remain for the 2025/26 World Darts Championship following the PDCTV Annual Member Early Access window, these tickets will be made available to fans via a free-to-register ballot.
The option to register for this ballot will open on Wednesday August 6 at 1200 BST, and will remain open until Friday August 15 at 1159 BST.
Given the expected high number of fans and the limited number of tickets are expected to be available following the PDCTV Annual Member Early Access window, the ballot is intended to be the fairest way of giving everyone a chance to apply for tickets.
How do I enter the ballot?
You can enter the ballot via the PDC website - links to this will be posted on the PDC website and social media channels on Wednesday August 6.
If you’ve already registered with us to receive World Darts Championship Ticket Updates, you’ll be automatically entered and will receive a confirmation email before the ballot opens.
Please note: PDCTV Annual Members are not eligible to enter the ballot.
How are ballot tickets allocated?
Following the close of registration for the ballot on Friday August 15 at 1159 BST, the randomly selected ballot draw will be made.
Successful applicants will receive an email with details on how to make a ticket purchase in the Second Ticket Window from Wednesday August 20 at 1200 BST. The Second Ticket Window will be open for 24 hours until Thursday August 21 at 1159 BST.
Registering for the ballot is not a guarantee that you will receive tickets.
Can I transfer or resell my tickets?
Details regarding ticket transfers and resale will be confirmed closer to the event.
Important: Tickets must only be purchased through official channels. Any tickets bought or sold via unauthorised third-party platforms - including Viagogo and StubHub – will be cancelled, and entry to the event will be refused.
Will tickets be available outside of the ballot?
We anticipate all tickets for the 2025/26 World Darts Championship will sell out during the PDCTV Annual Member Early Access window and Second Ticket Window. Should any tickets remain, details of how these will be sold will be communicated to fans appropriately.
Will Hospitality and Travel Packages be available?
Yes!
Hospitality will be sold through exclusive hospitality partner Pitch Experiences. More information on packages can be found here.
Information for Travel Packages will be released separately.
Are there different ticket types available?
Yes, a range of ticket types are available, including:
• Table Seats
• Tiered Seating
• Accessible Seating (proof will be required - see below)
• Family Section (where all groups must include at least one under-18)
• Hospitality Packages.
As with all major events, each category has limited availability and demand is expected to exceed supply. We recommend being flexible when selecting your preferred session to avoid disappointment.
Will there be Accessible Seating?
Yes – Accessible Seating will be available for all sessions as part of the ticket on-sale process.
Accessible Seating positions are limited, so it’s important that these tickets go to those who genuinely need them. To support this, fans must provide one of the following forms of evidence (uploaded as a JPG or PNG file, max 4MB) at the SeeTickets website when purchasing Accessible Tickets:
• A copy of your DLA, PIP, or Adult Disability Payment entitlement letter
• Evidence of being registered as severely sight impaired (blind)
• CredAbility Access Card (with +1 icon)
• A copy of your Attendance Allowance letter
• A recognised Assistance Dog ID card
• A current and valid Blue Badge
Can I select specific seats?
Tickets will be sold on a ‘best available’ basis within your selected section. Full seating information will be outlined during the booking process.
Do children need a ticket?
Yes - all attendees, including children, require a valid ticket for entry. While there are no formal age restrictions, all under-18s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times during the event. Parental discretion is advised when purchasing tickets.
A Family Section is provided where all groups must include at least one under-18. We recommend that families attending with children purchase tickets in this area.
When will I receive my tickets?
Tickets will be delivered digitally (unless otherwise stated) and made available around two weeks before the event. You will receive an email notification when your tickets are ready to download or access via the PDC Tickets App.
Is there a dress code?
Fans are encouraged to enjoy the party atmosphere and fancy dress is very popular with those attending, but all outfits must be appropriate.
Club football shirts, hi-vis clothing, as well as offensive, political, or unsafe costumes, will not be permitted. Fans wearing such items may be refused entry.
Additionally, sharp costume props or inflatables are not allowed inside the venue. Please see our Terms & Conditions for full details.
