[oche balboa]

Press Release by the PDC on this

Ticket prices have been confirmed for the 2024 BoyleSports World Grand Prix, with details of an expanded format also revealed ahead of this year’s double-start showpiece in Leicester.

The annual £600,000 event will take place at the Mattioli Arena from October 7-13, as 32 of the world's top stars compete for the coveted title.

Luke Humphries celebrated his maiden TV ranking title with victory over Gerwyn Price in last year’s tournament, and the world number one will return to defend his title later this year.

Six-time champion Michael van Gerwen is also set to star, with teenage superstar Luke Littler poised to make his double-start debut in the East Midlands.

However, in a change to last year’s format, Saturday’s semi-finals on October 12 will be contested over the best of nine sets, with the final set to be played over the best of 11 sets on Sunday October 13.

Tickets will go on sale from 1200 BST on Monday May 13, with the first priority window open exclusively for PDCTV Annual Members who had an active Annual Subscription at 1200 BST on Friday May 10.

Fans who completed the Priority Registration Form by 1200 BST on Friday May 10 can then gain access through the second window, which opens at 1200 BST on Tuesday May 1

Any remaining tickets will go on General Sale at 1200 BST on Wednesday May 15, with new and improved hospitality packages also available to book.

Tickets for the 2024 BoyleSports World Grand Prix will go on staggered sale from Monday May 13.

I think this is a good thing.
