Rated 1 out of 5 stars

They put the tables so close together that I had to leave after the 1st match with bruises on my leg. No response from PDC as they don’t care, just want to squeeze as much money out of everyone.

I have been a member for a couple of years. While the queue rush system was bad and often gamed by people with vpn, we was still able to get at least a couple of tickets in previous years. We was hold... See more

Over weekend afternoon session did not start on time, but one hour late. Often flipped back, repeating comments from "experts"! Night not much better. At least manages to watch all.of final.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

The PDC membership system is a shambles, definitely NOT worth paying £50 for. I’ve been a member for years and for the last 2 years I’ve been ‘unsuccessful’ in getting any tickets. So what am I paying... See more

Total con and a scam ,rip of merchants

They mug you into paying £49.99 PDC subscription , giving you access to the first priority ticket release . The system crashes , locks everyone out . You can’t get tickets it’s a total scam . What you also don’t know is that they now have taken a portion of the table seats in the general table area and made them HOSPITALITY SEATS at £399 plus vat so it’s no wonder it sold out as they have sold loads as hospitality . Tried cancelling my subscription ! I am outside the cooling off period for a refund again another fix .
Don’t bother , total rip off , I am going to complain them to the financial ombudsman and MARTINS money

Waste of time and money

Don’t waste your money buying a membership thinking it will get you priority for tickets. It won’t , it’s a con. I waited 7 hours for 2 days running not even a chance and at the same time viagogo are selling g table seats for £350+, absolute scam save your money

PDC - a feeding place for ticket touts

Knowing full well that the demand for tickets was going to be high, PDC in their wisdom allowed each individual to buy up to 10 tickets for each of 4 sessions.
Easy to see why the Viagogo site was then instantly awash with world darts tickets at extortionate prices.

Ally pally ticket farce

Only gave 1 star because you have too.
Paid my subscription logged on just before 12. When it opened I had selected my tickets within 40 seconds clicked pay then held on the refresh page for nearly 2 hours. When allowed back on surprise all tickets gone. Then later on see same tickets on 3rd party site selling at 4 times the value, very poor PDC, won't be renewing that service or use again

Do not bother joining

Do not bother joining thinking you will get tickets for events as they have far too many subscribers now.

Most of the tickets end up in the hands of touts on resale sites!

Surprisingly good

Having got Luke the Nuke fever, after not watching darts since Phil Taylor was in his prime, I really wanted to watch the European tour matches. Having read a bit online, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to view PDC TV live in the UK. I risked buying a one day pass for £2.99 and successfully watched the quarters through to the final. Excellent streaming quality on my Windows laptop, no buffering at all. Gets 10/10 from me and I’ll be back!

Purchased a year's subscription…

Purchased a year's subscription thankfully I used Zippay to do that so it couldn't automatically renew. Only get highlights of matches because I'm in Australia and the games are played while I'm asleep. I can get that much from watching YouTube. On many occasions PDCtv didn't even load up the highlights of recent matches for up to a week later and I had already found it on YouTube. Not a good service for the price. Personally between YouTube and Kayo I get all the matches so the subscription to PDCtv is a waste of money. I just wish Australia would have better coverage of full matches played in Europe tours rather than just highlights. Not all Australians are into Aussie rules or cricket!

Is it not time to retire the antique…

Is it not time to retire the antique mega mouth Referee roaring 180s for years and years. Even during Covid with no spectators this mega mouth was still at it roaring. Every time I see him reffing a match I turn off the channel and God knows I pay Sky enough every month for Sky Sports. Hopefully Barry Hearn gets out as well, well past his time to retire. Looking at the reviews on here it seems a lot of unhappy Customers. Darts has modernised, these 2 antiques have to go for the good of the game.

Make sure you set subscription to cancel

Ordered a PDC.tv subscription last year to buy tickets for the world championships, got the tickets ok but received an email last week saying they'd taken for another years membership. No warning this was going to happen, nothing obvious when I signed up, contacted them to request a refund and was basically told to kick rocks. Enjoy the extra £50, last time PDC is getting money out of me.

A complete scam

PDC tickets - A complete scam. They take your £50 annual membership and you dont get a chance to purchase tickets. There is no telephone number to call for help and any email sent gets a standard response directing you back to their website.

Connection and buffering very bad

Connection and buffering very bad. Does'nt matter if I log in via Wifi, Cable, in the UK, in Germany, the connection is very bad. Since we are paying for this service, one would think they could give us better quality. Very sad. I think I might be cancelling my subscription.

Worst tard show

Worst tard show! They cant start, at the time the show starts. Then under the match, you loose connection. And miss alot, because you have set it all up again! Then their customer service, os none exsisting! And how hard would it be, to show someting. In the breaks?? Show some clips or interveiws from darts. And freaking start on time, lost a whole match. Because they didt not even, start before qf1 was done almost!! Worst streaming product, and firm

Terrible

Terrible. Bought a years subscription thinking I could watch full matches after the event as I live in Australia and most events take place while I'm sleeping. Instead all you get is highlights that are freely available on YouTube with no events available on demand. I asked for a refund and was denied.

Customer service was terrible as well. The person I emailed could not use punctuation in the emails. No commas, no full stops, nothing. I do not recommend, in fact I feel like I have been robbed of over $100.

PDC.tv

Booked pdc.tv to watch the Nordic darts masters - „content is not available in your country“. Are you serious ? You take my money in 0.5 seconds but don’t have the decency to tell the customers beforehand that your service only seems to work in Africa lmao

Shame you cant give negative stars.

Shame you cant give negative stars.
What a complete waste of time trying to get tickets, even in your own home town, and that was within minutes or trying to book through there so called, 'Priority Booking'

For 3 years I've been trying to get tickets for the Winter Gardens in Blackpool, even advertising the event and dates freely in my hotel here in Blackpool, for what...... Certainly wont be bothering again. Unfortunately, the PDA are only interested in Corporate sales and its own subscribed membership sales, not the public who support the players and game, and who keep the game so popular.
I can now understand all the bad reviews they are given, and now add mine to their ever growing list.

Daylight robbery

Daylight robbery, paid for monthly subscription in uk only to find out afterwards that full coverage as advertised actual means no coverage of events in the uk, it purposely advertises in a way to mislead uk customers and then refuse a refund saying it clearly state that uk coverage is restricted, even though it is in tiny writing above a the subscription banner stating full coverage. absolutely disgraceful done purely to fleece customers
