The 2025 column uses the equivalent weekday/round from the PDC chart, before fees. The last column buys a ticket-and-hotel package.
They aren't standalone ticket prices.
The round allocation needs checking against the final PDC programme; the ticket and package listings establish the dates and starts.

Tickets and how they sell
This year's standard allocation used a ballot. Eligible annual PDCTV members entered from noon BST on 8 June.
The public ballot followed on 10 June; both closed on 15 June, with results sent on 23 June. Those windows have finished.
Current status, checked 6 October: the whole event isn't sold out across every official route.
SportsBreaks still listed packages for nine sessions; both opening-Saturday sessions and Saturday 21 November were sold out on that route.
Standard-seat inventory wasn't readable during this check, so follow the PDC ticket page for current stock.
If you can't attend, the PDC's ballot FAQ directs you to See Tickets Fan-to-Fan. Use that authorised route rather than a social-media offer.
Our ticket and resale guide explains the checks before paying a stranger.

Session-by-session: what to expect
Opening days: a group contest, not immediate elimination
The 2026 field expands to 48 players in sixteen groups of three. Each player meets both group opponents, so a first loss doesn't immediately end their tournament.
The final 2026 tie-break rules and match lengths aren't confirmed here; read the new PDC programme before choosing a round.
Knockouts: the tournament narrows
The sixteen group winners go into the last-16 stage: lose there and you're out.
The quarter-final evenings build towards the final Sunday, when the semi-finals and final have separate afternoon and evening tickets.
You need both bookings to attend both sessions.
Qualification brings together major PDC finalists, youth and international routes, secondary-tour leaders and eight Tour Card qualifiers.
It's broader than inviting the highest-ranked 48. For the crowd and walk-ons, use our first-night guide. The tournaments guide puts that alongside the rest of the calendar.

How to pick a session
Monday or Tuesday · 16–17 November
Both start at 19:00. Compare your actual standard-ticket quote; official one-night packages started at £129, making a weekday break worth checking.
Sunday afternoon · 15 November
A 13:00 start makes the return easier to arrange. Check admission and supervision first; afternoon darts can still be very loud.
Sunday evening · 15 November
The listed 19:30 start leaves time for an early meal. Agree your ticket category together and check placement before splitting orders.
These are our picks for planning a visit. Compare the broader trade-offs in which session should I book?

What will the trip cost?
Start with your own ticket quote, or choose a labelled 2025 face value as a guide. SportsBreaks presets include one hotel night and breakfast.
If you choose one, keep additional hotel nights at zero unless you're extending the stay. Add only charges missing from your seller's total.

On the day
Eat before travelling to Aldersley, save your ticket offline and arrive with a charged phone.
Leave a margin for security rather than reaching the building at the advertised start.
Session doors and the darts payment policy aren't confirmed here; check your ticket and ask the venue about payment.
Follow the admission instructions on your booking and carry a payment card.
| Stage | Afternoon | Evening |
|---|---|---|
| Listed start | 13:00 | 19:00; 15 November 19:30 |
| Finish · planning estimate | Allow until roughly 17:00 | Allow until roughly 23:00, or later for long matches |
| Journey afterwards | Leave time to reach the city centre | Arrange the final connection or overnight stay first |
Leave a margin for the station journey. The venue help section covers stewards, emergencies and lost property.

Families and groups
The six-ticket ballot ceiling describes buying, not childcare.
The 2026 minimum age, supervision ratio and Family Area details aren't confirmed here; ask the ticket team before booking children.
Ask the organiser about every child's age and how many adults must accompany your party before paying.
For families, we'd choose Sunday 15 November afternoon and take hearing protection.
The under-18s guide compares the arrangements already checked at other events.
Larger adult groups should settle the maximum spend and seating category before searching resale.
Six seats bought together are different from six separate purchases. Read our stag and hen planning guide for collecting money, tickets and arranging a meal.

Allowed
- Your valid booking for this particular session, ready for staff to check.
- Essential medicines and access equipment: arrange requirements with the organiser beforehand.
- Simple costumes you can sit and walk in, after checking the Grand Slam dress conditions.

Not allowed

Ask the organiser for the applicable conditions before packing; the World Championship rules don't establish Aldersley's terms.
Our fancy-dress guide helps you choose a practical group outfit. Keep a warm layer for the November journey and make sure any headwear comes off easily.
