The Ladbrokes World Darts Championship starts in a months 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 sports 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.
Ladbrokes World Darts tickets are available to compare and buy online now.
