Darts fans are already setting their sights on next year's premier event, with the 2027 PDC World Darts Championship confirmed to return to London's iconic Alexandra Palace. As the 2026 tournament concludes, anticipation is building for a historic edition that promises to be bigger and more in-demand than ever.
When and How to Secure Your 2027 Tickets
The scramble for seats will begin several months before the first dart is thrown. Based on the recent sales pattern, official tickets for the tournament, which runs from December 2026 to January 2027, are expected to go on sale in August 2026.
Historically, the first chance to buy goes to PDCTV Annual Members, with a members-only window opening first. For the 2025/26 championship, this occurred at 12pm BST on Monday, August 4, 2025, with tickets selling out in a matter of hours.
Any remaining tickets are then typically offered to the general public, often via a free ballot or general sale a few days later. However, demand has been so intense in recent years that public ballots have sometimes been cancelled due to immediate sell-outs.
The best course of action for hopeful spectators is to register for ticket alerts with the PDC and its official partners. This will ensure you receive a notification the moment sales go live, giving you the best possible chance.
What to Expect: Venue Expansion and Ticket Costs
Reflecting the sport's soaring popularity, the 2027 championship will mark a major milestone. For the first time, the event will move into the venue's larger Great Hall. This expansion will allow an additional 70,000 spectators to attend across the tournament's duration.
While official pricing for 2027 is yet to be announced, previous years provide a reliable guide. Early-round session tickets have typically cost between £50 and £60. Prices then rise for the mid-tournament sessions, with semi-final and final tickets reaching approximately £95, depending on the seating category.
Given the expected sell-out, the secondary resale market will likely be active. On these platforms, prices start at a minimum of £146 and can exceed £350 for tickets to the latter stages. The PDC also offers premium VIP and hospitality packages, which include food, drinks, and prime seating, at a significantly higher cost. Full details on these packages will be released closer to the sale date through official tour operators.
Planning Your Visit to Ally Pally
With the tournament's enhanced capacity, more fans than ever will have the opportunity to experience the unique atmosphere at Alexandra Palace. The event has cemented its status as one of the UK's most beloved winter sporting occasions, famous for its vibrant crowd and fancy dress.
To avoid disappointment, fans are strongly advised to prepare early. Mark your calendar for August 2026, ensure your PDCTV membership is active if you want early access, and sign up for those all-important ticket alerts. Securing a seat for the expanded World Darts Championship promises to be a competitive endeavour.
