I'll post the figures later, but the answer is sales are less than when they pulled the plug in December, but not by much.

Maybe he could have dragged Taylor down, we will never know.

Looking likely to turn out that the time of year isn't the problem...

Fucking hell
Ticket sales as of Wednesday night (26th). Does not include any of the hotel+ticket deals as they have not been opened up on the website, so likely an underestimate of about 200 of the number sold. It was 2501 when the plug was pulled in December:

		Seats	Sold	% Sold	Value
Sat	All Day	1394	198	14%	14656
Sun	All Day	1394	158	11%	11216
Mon	All Day	1394	55	4%	4030
Tue	Aft	1394	73	5%	1460
	Eve	1394	62	4%	2264
Wed	Aft	1394	106	8%	2120
	Eve	1394	108	8%	4136
Thur	Aft	1394	191	14%	3820
	Eve	1394	146	10%	8012
Fri	All Day	1394	272	20%	19904
Sat	All Day	1394	477	34%	35834
Sun	All Day	1394	260	19%	24300
Total		16728	2106	13%	131752
So about minus 200 sales since mid December there then.

Big changes on the way ! We've heard it before but it's different this time !!!! , I believe Bdo gonna grow x

I suspect this will be cancelled altogether soon. The demand just isn't there.

I hope to be wrong though. The WDF are more likeable than Jacklin's/Oche's BDO.

It would also be a right laugh to follow on here.

Didn't the DF lot run a tournament once that only had about 13% of the entries they had hoped for and ended up losing a load of cash on it once upon a time? Wonder if any of those fucker had a hand in this hahaha

Monty realising he would be a massive hypocrite if he played in it. No idea why the other has pulled out though.
