TICKETS for the 2008 Ladbrokes.com World Darts Championship, staged at Alexandra Palace on 17 December-1 January, go on general sale on Monday.
The tournament will be the first held at the famous north London venue since the Professional Darts Corporation's decision to move the sport's showpiece tournament from the Circus Tavern in Purfleet.
The 2008 Ladbrokes.com World Darts Championship, beginning on Monday 17 December, will feature 68 players from around the world.
Tickets for the latter stages are already selling well, and record demand is expected when tickets are released on general sale at 10am on Monday.
"This tournament has really captured the imagination since the fantastic final we had between Raymond van Barneveld and Phil Taylor on New Year's Day and the announcement that we will move to the prestigious Alexandra Palace," said PDC Chairman Barry Hearn.
"More fans than ever before can see the world's best players battling for the biggest prize fund in darts this Christmas.
"Alexandra Palace will be a wonderful new home for the Ladbrokes.com World Darts Championship and we urge fans to book their tickets early to ensure they get a seat for the event."
Tickets begin at just £15 for the early stages, with tickets priced at £50 and £40 for the final.
Tickets have been on priority sale for the past week to annual subscribers of DartsTV on the PDC's official website, www.planetdarts.tv, giving loyal fans the chance to secure their seats first for the £500,000-plus tournament.
