Fans gobsmacked by price of pint at Premier League Darts final and are instead left ‘chugging water’
DARTS fans have been left gobsmacked over the price of a pint at the Premier League Darts finale.
Luke Humphries got payback over Luke Littler, beating the youngster in the final to avenge last year’s defeat.
It was an action-packed night as Littler had earlier come from behind to beat Gerwyn Price before Humphries brushed Nathan Aspinall aside.
However some punters were left unimpressed because of the sky-high price of alcoholic beverages.
The cheapest beer on offer was a Budweiser, coming in at £9.25.
Other pints were priced at £9.80, including Camden Pale Ale and Camden Hells Lager, which increased by 55p and 35p respectively on last year.
Fans were in uproar over the prices and made their feelings clear.
One reacted saying: “£9.25 British pounds for a f***ing Budweiser, Games gone, hope there’s a 9 darter to make up for it.”
Another added: “£9.50 for a pint of BUDWEISER at the O2 tonight. Turned back round and chugged my water.”
A third wrote: “The O2 is far too big for the Premier League Darts. Void of any true atmosphere, much like it is when there’s a gig there. £9.80 a pint, too.”
Some darts fans were also left frustrated by the Premier League final format following Littler’s defeat.
Many argued it was unfair Littler had dominated the competition for the previous 16 weeks only to lose.
One wrote on X: “Fair play to Humphries and I’m glad he won, but I really don’t see the point in playing a 16-week league phase for it to come down to one game.”
Another said: “Format isn’t great. What’s the point of dominating for 16 weeks, for it to come down to one night? [It] seems a bit forced, IMO.”
