Secure your tickets for this event as soon as possible and experience the New Year in the loudest sports hall in the world.

Why the World Darts Championship is the pinnacle of world darts

The World Darts Championship, organized by the Professional Darts Corporation, is today the absolute pinnacle of professional darts – a tournament featuring the best players in the world, where every hit "180" brings the crowd to its feet. The competition is played in a set format, with matches gradually lengthening as the tournament enters the final stages, so the tension grows from round to round, and every ticket is worth more than an ordinary sporting event because it also brings a dramatic story behind every performance. The value of the tournament is also seen in the prize fund, which has reached historical levels in the current season, with a million pounds for the champion and a total fund of several million, further confirming how darts has become a globally serious sport. Special weight is given to the tournament by the stories of individual stars, such as the young champion Luke Littler who is defending his title, and charismatic veterans such as Michael van Gerwen or Gerwyn Price, so the audience, through tickets for this event, actually buys access to sports stories that will be retold for years. Ticket sales for each session go in waves, and precisely the dates around the New Year are traditionally among the most sought after, so it is wise to react in time and choose a seat before the tickets disappear from the offer.

Atmosphere at Alexandra Palace: why Ally Pally is the home of the darts spectacle

Alexandra Palace, located on a hill above North London, has been synonymous with the World Darts Championship for almost two decades, and fans around the world simply call it Ally Pally. The historic 19th-century building transforms into a huge fan living room during the winter, where thousands of people in costumes sing, dance, and cheer for their favorites, while matches for the biggest title in darts are played on stage under the spotlights. From 2026, the tournament moves to the Great Hall within the complex, which increases the capacity and allows more than 180,000 spectators to pass through the three weeks of competition, so tickets for this event become even more sought after among fans who want to be part of that story live. Due to the unique combination of Victorian architecture, views of the London skyline, and fan madness, many consider this hall a sports temple, and not just a venue. If you are planning to come from Croatia or another European country, it is worth thinking in advance about accommodation near the venue so that your day is without haste and running, and more focused on enjoying the atmosphere and matches. That is exactly why buying tickets and planning the trip are usually done in a package, because it is an experience that goes beyond an ordinary trip to a match.

What the afternoon session on January 1st, 2026, brings

The afternoon session on January 1st, 2026, starting at 12:30, is the perfect way to continue the New Year's celebration, but in a fan rhythm, with the sounds of songs from the stands and precise arrows from the world's best darts players. In this phase of the tournament, key middle and final stage matches are usually played, so fans can often catch performances by the biggest stars and decisive duels that shape the path to the final. A ticket valid for one day allows you to see multiple matches in the same slot, without the need to exit and re-enter, which is practical if you are coming with company and want to spend the day in the hall. Due to the tradition that most fans head exactly towards Ally Pally on New Year's Day, tickets for this session have a special place in the calendar of many fans, so it is not surprising that ticket sales for this period can be very fast. If your wish is to welcome the beginning of the year in a unique blend of sport and entertainment, buy tickets via the button below and secure your place in the stands while the seat selection is still good, because the experience of a New Year's session at the World Darts Championship cannot be compared to any other sporting event.

World darts stars who fill the stands

One of the main reasons why the World Darts Championship is so popular is the star-studded lineup of players who perform on the Alexandra Palace stage, and whose names fans chant with song and the rhythm of drums from the stands. Luke Littler, as the current world champion and global sensation, attracts a new audience that might never have followed darts before, while legends like Michael van Gerwen or experienced champions like Gerwyn Price remind us that this is a sport with deep tradition and many charismatic characters. 128 players participate in the competition through several rounds, so each session brings a combination of favorites and underdogs who can pull off a sensation, and exactly those unpredictable moments are what make tickets for this event always find a buyer. Fans also appreciate the specificity of darts culture: players' nicknames, their walk-on songs, colorful jerseys, and choreographies, which is why one ticket often feels like entry into a small sports theater. That's why many visitors deliberately choose the session in which their favorites perform, and ticket sales for sessions with the biggest stars are regularly the fastest, so planning ahead is key if you want to watch exactly those matches that are most interesting to you.

History of the World Darts Championship and the path to Ally Pally

Today's PDC World Darts Championship originated in the early nineties, but it gained its current status precisely through an explosion of popularity after moving to Alexandra Palace in 2008 and turning into a global television spectacle. Before that, the tournament was played in the smaller Circus Tavern hall in Essex, where it already had a cult status among darts lovers, but the decision to move to a larger and more attractive space opened the doors to a wider circle of fans. Throughout history, some of the biggest names in the history of the sport have rotated on the list of champions, from Phil Taylor to the newer generation led by Littler, and the Sid Waddell Trophy has become one of the most prestigious trophies in the world of sports with three arrows. Every season brings new records in the number of spectators, income from the tournament, and media attention, so it is natural that the demand for tickets expands from year to year, especially for the days around the holidays. A ticket for the afternoon session on January 1st, 2026, is therefore not just a ticket for a few matches, but a small piece of a long sports story that has grown from a local phenomenon into a global spectacle.

Alexandra Palace as a London icon and home of great events

Alexandra Palace is not just a hall for darts, but also one of the historically most interesting buildings in London, with a layered past that includes fires, reconstruction, military and social roles, and various cultural manifestations. Built as the northern counterpart to the more famous Crystal Palace, through the decades it has served as a place of entertainment, fairs, concerts, and sports competitions, and today it is protected as a valuable cultural and historical heritage. Located in a large park with a panoramic view of the city, Ally Pally offers an impressive sight even before you even enter the hall, so many visitors come earlier to walk through the park, take photos, and start the day in a relaxed way. During the World Darts Championship, the entire complex gets additional energy: fans in costumes fill the surrounding paths and food and drink points, and the atmosphere resembles a festival or a big city carnival. If you want to experience the complete atmosphere, it is worth considering looking for accommodation for event visitors nearby, so that you can enjoy the walk, the fan atmosphere, and the tournament itself without haste, knowing that after everything you are returning to a hotel or apartment just a few stations away.

How to get to Alexandra Palace and what to know before the trip

Alexandra Palace is located at Alexandra Palace Way, London N22 7AY, on a hill between the Wood Green and Muswell Hill districts, so the arrival itself provides a beautiful view of the city and surrounding parks. The hall is most often reached by a combination of the underground and train or bus: a popular option is to take the underground line to Wood Green station, from where buses run to the complex itself, while local trains run to Alexandra Palace station at the foot of the hill. Tournament organizers usually ensure clear signaling and increased traffic lines on days when World Darts Championship sessions are played, so arrival is relatively simple even for visitors coming to London for the first time. The advice is to arrive at the hall earlier to avoid crowds at the entrance, pass security checks without haste, and have enough time to find your seat, order a drink, and take photos with fans. Since it is the winter period, definitely count on changeable weather and research accommodation in London in advance, because around the New Year the demand for rooms, just like for tickets for this event, is extremely high, so it is good to organize everything before departure. Buying tickets on time and timely trip planning are the best way for your day at Ally Pally to pass without stress.

What awaits you on the spot: security, offer, and fan zones

When you arrive at Alexandra Palace and enter the complex, the first thing that will greet you is a combination of security checks and a friendly fan atmosphere in which costumes, flags, and songs create the impression of a big city celebration. Tickets for this event mostly function in digital form, so it is smart to prepare them on your mobile phone or print them in advance so that scanning at the entrance goes as quickly as possible, especially in the periods around the start of the session. Inside the hall, numerous bars, food points, and official stalls with fan props await you, from jerseys and scarves to the recognizable cardboard signs with written messages that spectators hold in front of the cameras. The stands are organized to combine tables and classic seating, depending on the part of the hall, so tickets offer different experiences – from an almost pub atmosphere to a quieter view from the higher rows. It is important to keep in mind that your ticket, which is valid for one day, covers all matches in a certain slot, but is tied to a specific session, so the trip plan and return to the city are easily synchronized with the predicted end of the program, which is practical if you have a return to the hotel or a continuation of the New Year's outing in the evening.

Planning your stay in London during the World Championship

Coming to the World Darts Championship in London is an excellent opportunity to combine the tournament with a shorter winter trip and exploration of the city during the period when the streets are still decorated and the holiday atmosphere is felt at every step. Many fans arrive a day or two earlier to walk through the city center, visit landmarks such as Westminster or Tower Bridge, and enjoy winter content, and then round off the day with a trip to Ally Pally. Due to high demand, it is good to choose and reserve accommodation offers in the host city in advance, especially if you plan to stay for several days and watch more than one session, because room prices and availability change quickly. The combination of tournament tickets, accommodation near desired neighborhoods, and easy access to city transport makes the difference between a stressful and a relaxed stay, so it is worth investing a little time in planning. When you know that the tickets are safe and the place to sleep is reserved, the rest of the trip comes down to enjoying darts, socializing, and exploring London, a city that has a special charm in winter.

Who this darts spectacle is intended for

The World Darts Championship at Alexandra Palace attracts a very diverse audience, from passionate fans who have followed every tournament for years to new viewers who might have discovered the charm of darts for the first time through social networks and television broadcasts. In the stands, you will see groups of friends in themed costumes, families coming together, but also sports tourists who choose a new city and event every year to combine travel and a major sporting spectacle. Thanks to the cheerful atmosphere, singing of famous hits, and relaxed tone, many visitors say that this is one of the most fun sports experiences of their lives, regardless of whether they followed the world of darts in detail before arriving. If you love a good atmosphere, sporting competition, and the idea of starting the New Year with fan bustle and top-tier production, it is very likely that this event will be etched in your memory. Tickets for this New Year's session are disappearing fast, so buy tickets on time via the button below and secure your place in the hall that becomes the center of world darts every December and January.
