BETFRED WORLD MATCHPLAY UPDATE

Further to Monday's announcement by the UK Government, the PDC has issued an update for ticket holders for the 2021 Betfred World Matchplay.

The PDC understands the concern which ticket holders for the 2021 Betfred World Matchplay will have following the UK Government's decision to delay the easing of restrictions in England to an expected date of Monday July 19.

At present, the PDC is working with the relevant bodies in the planning of the Betfred World Matchplay - including the UK Government's DCMS, the Winter Gardens, Blackpool Council and SeeTickets - to determine the final capacity for any affected sessions.

We expect that the opening two days of the event, on Saturday July 17 and Sunday July 18, will be required to have a reduced capacity but that sessions from Monday July 19 onwards will be able to proceed as normal.
