The tournament is comprised of eight of the best darts players in the sport, so for six of those to be in contention for semi-final places illustrates just how fine the margins are at the very top level of sport. Simon Whitlock, Mervyn King, Ronnie Baxter, James Lewis and Adrian Lewis will all fight out for the chance to claim the title, but the unbeaten Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor is standing ominously in their way.

Taylor has won four of the five competitions overall, and will be eager to regain the crown that Wade gloriously stole last year.

With the 2010 PDC World Darts Championship now finished with Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor lifting his 15th title, the focus of the darts world now moves to the Whyte & Mackay Premier League which kicks off at the O2 Arena in London on February 11th.

The Premier League runs for 15 weeks and takes in all corners of the United Kingdom with the event selling out the biggest arenas in Newcastle, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow as well as several others. The competition culminates in the playoffs at Wembley Arena on May 23rd.

As the name suggests the Premier League follows a league format with each regular season match consisting of the best of 14 legs meaning that draws are possible. The top four in the table go through to the playoffs where the winner is decided via semi-final and final rounds.

The defending champion is James ‘The Machine’ Wade who defeated Mervyn King 13-8 in last year’s showpiece and the new season promises to be equally competitive. World Darts Championship finalist and the tournament’s surprise package Simon ‘The Wizard’ Whitlock has been granted a wildcard after his scintillating displays at Alexandra Palace.

The Australian joins Premier League regulars Phil Taylor, Raymond Van Barneveld, Terry Jenkins, King, Wade and one other wildcard choice that is as yet undetermined in the lucrative high-profile tournament that has captivated the nation since its inception.

Big crowds and big checkouts are the name of the game and it is a must for any darts fan – serious or casual. Tickets for each round of the Premier League are available to compare and buy at tixdaq.com.

The tension is mounting in north London as players from around the world gather for one of the sporting events of the year.

In just over a week’s time the Ladbrokes.com World Darts Championship gets underway at Alexandra Palace and the stakes could not be higher. For the first time in the sport’s history there is a tournament prize pool of £1m with a staggering £200,000 going to the world champion.

Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor will be defending his crown and going for a quite extraordinary 15th world title but he will be under pressure from former world champions Raymond Van Barneveld and John Part while the youthful James Wade and abrasive Mervyn King will also be seeking to dethrone the great man.

The tournament starts on December 18th and concludes with the final on January 3rd. Tickets are available for every day of the tournament and many of the days have both an afternoon and evening session giving you the public yet more opportunity to see the best players in action.

The final line-up for the Ladbrokes World Darts Championship that takes place from December 18th to January 3rd in Alexandra Palace in London has finally been decided.

72 players from all around the world will compete for £1m in prize money – the richest event in the history of darts – and a first prize of £200,000.

14-time world champion Phil Taylor remains the man to beat though expect challenges from Raymond van Barneveld, James Wade, Mervyn King, John Part and Andy Hamilton.

The top 32 players from the PDC Order of Merit will all take part along with qualifiers from around the globe. One disappointment for the fans will be the omission of female darts star Anastasia Dobromyslova after she lost in the final of the Russian playoff tournament.

The Ladbrokes World Darts Championship starts in a month’s time and the countdown to the sports big occasion has begun.

Darts has gone form strength to strength in recent years, recapturing the previous golden era in the mid-eighties and taking the sport’s appeal to a whole new level.

It says much about its burgeoning popularity that for the past couple of years, darts’ showpiece event has taken place at the cavernous Alexandra Palace having been forced to move from its traditional home of the Circus Tavern in Purfleet to accommodate the growing demand for tickets.

The presence of a true sporting legend in the shape of 14-time world champion  Phil Taylor has brought the sport into the mainstream in the past decade as well the introduction to the PDC of The Hague’s finest – Raymond Van Barneveld.

In fact the 2007 World Darts final saw an absolute epic between these two titans of the game as the Dutchman won a sudden-death leg to lift the title by 7 sets to 6. It was almost certainly the best darts match ever witnessed and one of the most dramatic sporting occasions in history.

Despite the huge popularity of the sport, there are still a number of tickets available for each day of the tournament that starts on December 18 and runs until the final on January 3.
