Maybe they were just providing a sample for the WADA?

Someone on TSoD sent an email to the venue...
The tickets will be sold direct from them rather than our box office so keep an eye on that. Sorry we don't have any further details yet.

Cheers, KGH
Oh dear.

So the BDO locked in a 3 year deal for venue and TV for an event that loses them a hefty chunk of change. Better off than they were a year ago, lol

The addition of almost assured losses can only be considered progress in the mushroom mind.

Means the BDO paid for the venue and only revenue will be ticket sales as there's no sponsor. They may get a slice of Eurosport advertising revenue but I can't see that covering the costs.

As a comparison I think the PDC pay nothing for Blackpool and get the ticket revenue. The venue gets beer and food sales

Sounds very much like a second marriage, the triumph of hope over experience.

What a waste of money

From TSOD:
Surely they know this year is a big hit financially, plan next years now. Get people in cheap. Have some fun stuff so youngster's want to go back next year.

We all know the PDC is better quality wise but if my kids were young I wouldn't consider taking them to a PDC event, a friendly open BDO one with fun activities could well draw them in for years to come.
Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't BDO events chav-filled fiascos? Hardly a setting for kids.

The opens are full of people who only go there for the piss. I guess if he's exclusively talking about the couple TV events the BDO still has, there is some truth in the statement.

Simply because no fucker goes to the BDO majors outside Lakeside and that's an ever decreasing circle also
