The World Darts Championship could move away from Alexandra Palace with Barry Hearn admitting a switch of venue is "under discussion" due to the impact of Luke Littler.
It means demands for tickets has skyrocketed and the new Premier League champion has forced darts' bosses into a rethink with Hearn, like he has in recent discussions with snooker and the Crucible, citing the need for a new venue due to the potential of ticket sales. “If I have got eight extra sessions I have got 25,000 more tickets to sell. But inevitably in the end we are going to be looking at what we are going to do. It is one step at a time, I am not a gambler, but sometimes you get a curveball like Luke Littler and you have to rethink your strategy.
Ally Pally has hosted the iconic tournament since 2008 and is considered the home of the sport, but the 3,200-capacity venue is limited and tickets sell out in July before even hitting general sale.
