New Year’s Day at Ally Pally: tired, loud – and instantly alive

There’s something special about New Year’s Day at Alexandra Palace.

The crowd might arrive a little slower, a little quieter at first – but it doesn’t last long.
As soon as the first walk-on begins, everything clicks back into place.

The singing returns.
The costumes are still there.
The energy builds naturally.

Inside the Great Hall, it creates a unique atmosphere: slightly hungover, but fully engaged.

For fans with Ally Pally tickets, this is one of the most authentic sessions of the entire championship.

On stage: quarter-finals mean no margin for error

There is no easing into matches anymore.

Only top-level players remain – and every mistake is punished.

Names like Luke Humphries, Michael van Gerwen and Gerwyn Price define this stage.

But challengers like Luke Littler or Nathan Aspinall can change everything in a moment.
