PDC World Darts Championship Hospitality

What is hospitality at the World Darts Championship?

Hospitality at the World Darts Championship is a seated, hosted way to watch the PDC’s flagship darts event at Alexandra Palace in North London, where the tournament has been held since the 2007/08 edition. Instead of a standing spot in the crowd you get a reserved table, a meal and a host, and the PDC has extended its deal to keep the event at the venue through to at least 2031.

That last point matters if you are planning ahead. The World Darts Championship is not a one-off booking that might move cities next year; it is a fixed North London institution over the Christmas and New Year period, which is part of why it works as a company Christmas outing, and a group you take this year can become an annual date. From the 2026/27 edition the Championship moves into the venue’s larger Great Hall, and what that change means if you are booking a table is covered on the 2026/27 World Darts Championship page.

Do you need to follow darts to enjoy the hospitality?

No. You could have watched every session for a decade or never seen a leg of darts thrown, and a day in the hospitality at the World Darts Championship works the same either way. The draw at Alexandra Palace is the room as much as the board: the singalongs, the walk-ons, the fancy dress and the noise. A host explains the format so nobody at your table is lost, and the social side carries the day on its own.

What is usually included in darts hospitality?

Packages differ, and Prestige confirms exactly what each one covers, so nothing below is a fixed inclusion for a particular year. As a general rule, though, darts hospitality across the board tends to swap a standing ticket for a reserved seat and a meal, with a host looking after your group for the session. The comparison below is the general shape of it, not a promise for a given edition:

• Where you watch: general admission is a standing spot or a tiered seat in the hall; hospitality is a reserved seat, usually at a table.
• Food: at general admission you buy from the general kiosks; hospitality typically builds a meal into the package.
• The crowd: general admission puts you in the thick of it; hospitality gives your group its own space away from the main crush.
• The session: at general admission you sort your own day; in hospitality a host looks after the group.

If a package includes a bar or drinks, those are for over-18s and photo ID may be asked for under a Challenge 25 policy.

Who is darts hospitality at Alexandra Palace for?

Darts hospitality at Alexandra Palace tends to suit three kinds of group. For client entertaining, the room itself is a talking point and the seated table gives you space to actually talk business. Staff rewards need little from the organiser, since the atmosphere does the heavy lifting. And a celebration, a birthday or a big work night, slots straight into the loud, sociable character of an Ally Pally session.

The common thread is a group that wants an occasion rather than a fixture. Nobody needs to be a darts obsessive for it to work, which is why it travels so well as a mixed-ability, mixed-interest day out.

Afternoon or evening: which session suits a group?

Most days of the World Darts Championship run an afternoon session and an evening session, and their character is different. The afternoon tends to be lighter and easier to talk over, which suits a calmer client lunch or a family group. The evening is fuller and louder, closer to the famous Ally Pally roar, and suits a work night out or a group that wants the full noise.

• Afternoon session: lighter and more relaxed, easier to hold a conversation; suits a client lunch or family groups.
• Evening session: louder and fuller, the full Ally Pally roar; suits a work night out or big groups.

Exact session times are published by the tournament closer to each edition, so pick the character you want first and Prestige can match it to the schedule once it is confirmed.

How much does darts hospitality cost?

The World Darts Championship does not run to a single published hospitality price. What you pay depends on the session, the size of your group and what the package includes, so figures are confirmed on enquiry rather than listed on this page. Prices are always quoted with their conditions stated alongside, so you can see exactly what a figure covers before you decide.

Is hospitality worth it over general admission?

For a group, usually yes. General admission puts you in the standing crowd, which is a genuinely good way to watch darts if you are happy to sort your own day and hold your own spot. Hospitality is the premium version of that: a guaranteed seat you do not have to arrive early to claim, a meal you do not have to queue for, and a table you can come back to all session. For client entertaining or a group booking, that certainty is the point.

How do you get to Alexandra Palace?

Alexandra Palace sits in North London, postcode N22 7AY, on a hill above the city. It has its own Alexandra Palace rail station at the Wood Green entrance, direct from Moorgate via Great Northern. The nearest tube is Wood Green on the Piccadilly line, roughly 20 minutes from Piccadilly Circus, and the W3 bus runs from Finsbury Park and Tottenham to the venue.

From the station or the car parks it is a short walk up a slight hill to the entrance. The venue’s own car parks often close for events, so rail or tube is usually the easier arrival, and it keeps a designated driver out of the equation for a group that plans to make a night of it.

What accessibility does Alexandra Palace offer?

Alexandra Palace describes itself as an access-friendly venue with a dedicated step-free entrance to concerts, reached by heading to the far left of the Palm Court main entrance and following the signs. Accessible bathrooms are located in the Great Hall and other public areas, and there is a Changing Places facility on the South Terrace, arranged through the venue’s Visitor Services team.

The step-free travel route is via Finsbury Park station, which has no steps, and then the W3 bus, which stops right outside the venue. For a group with specific access requirements, Prestige can confirm the current arrangements with the venue as part of a booking.

How does booking darts hospitality through Prestige work?

Prestige Corporate Events is an independent hospitality provider that arranges corporate and group packages around the World Darts Championship; it is not the promoter or the venue. The service is built around a single point of contact: one conversation to sort the session, the group size and the package, then one confirmation and one invoice, rather than piecing it together yourself.

You tell us the kind of day you want and the group you are bringing, and we handle the detail against what is available for the edition you are booking.
