Alexandra Palace Darts Seating Guide — Where to Sit at the World Darts Championship
Ally Pally’s Great Hall runs almost entirely on floor tables rather than a traditional bowl, with a small tiered seating block behind and to the sides — here is where SPL rates each part of it, and why.

Section-by-Section Breakdown
Front Table SeatingGood Value
Front Table Seating puts you closest to the stage — fancy dress, singing and chanting are the norm here. The view can be inconsistent, but it’s not about watching darts perfectly, it’s about being part of the show.
Closest to stageFancy dress and chantingView can be inconsistent
The loudest, most theatrical seats in the house — go here for the party, not the sightlines.
Middle Mixed TablesBest Pick
Middle Mixed Tables offers a balanced view of the stage while still being part of the main atmosphere on the floor.
Balanced viewMain atmosphereMixed tables
A solid all-round table pick — good view, good noise.
Rear Tables & Front Tiered RowsBest Pick
Rear Tables & Front Tiered Rows — the rear tables and front tiered rows — still feel the atmosphere of the floor with improved viewing angles over the front tables.
Improved viewing angleStill feel the atmosphereUnderrated option
The underrated sweet spot — most of the atmosphere, a clearly better view.
Rear & Upper Tiered SeatingGood Value
Rear & Upper Tiered Seating gives a clear, unobstructed view with less crowd interaction — the best choice if you want to watch the match properly.
Unobstructed viewLess crowd interactionBest for watching properly
The pick for serious viewing over full immersion in the crowd.
Side-Angle Tiered SeatsAvoid
Side-Angle Tiered Seats come with an extreme side angle that reduces dartboard visibility.
Extreme side angleReduced dartboard visibilityCheaper tiered option
Avoid if a clear view of the board matters to you.
Deep Table SectionsAvoid
Deep Table Sections sit deep in the back corner of the table floor, losing both the proximity and the clear stage view that make the other table sections worth it.
Furthest from stageOff-centre angleLoses both proximity and view
The weakest table option — you pay floor prices without the floor’s advantages.
Hospitality SectionPremium
Hospitality Section offers a premium hospitality package with padded seating and table service, plus an elevated view over the table floor — more comfort, less chaos.
Padded seating and serviceElevated central viewPremium package
The comfortable option — you trade some of the floor’s energy for padded seats and table service.
💡 Ally Pally’s Great Hall gets warm fast once it’s full — dress in layers, especially if you’re seated on the floor near the stage.
What to Avoid
Ally Pally’s Great Hall is a floor-first venue, so most of the seating debate is about table position rather than a fixed stand structure. The two genuine sections to avoid are the side-angle tiered seats, where the extreme angle reduces dartboard visibility, and the deep table sections at the back corner of the floor, which pay floor prices without the floor’s proximity or view advantage. If sightlines matter more to you than atmosphere, the rear and upper tiered seating is the better trade-off — a clear, unobstructed view with less crowd interaction.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best seats at Alexandra Palace for darts?
The middle mixed tables offer the best all-round balance of view and atmosphere, while the rear tables and front tiered rows are an underrated sweet spot with better sightlines and still plenty of atmosphere.
Are front tables worth it at the World Darts Championship?
Front tables put you closest to the stage with the loudest, most theatrical atmosphere, but the view can be inconsistent — they suit fans prioritising the party over a clean sightline.
Which seats should I avoid at Ally Pally?
The side-angle tiered seats and the deep table sections at the back corner both come with reduced views — the side-angle seats lose dartboard visibility, and the deep sections lose the floor’s proximity advantage.
What is the hospitality package at Alexandra Palace?
The hospitality section offers padded seating and table service with an elevated, central view over the table floor — more comfort, less of the floor’s chaos.
Should I sit at a table or in the tiered seats?
Tables put you in the main floor atmosphere with fancy dress and chanting; tiered seats, particularly the rear and upper rows, trade some of that atmosphere for a clearer, unobstructed view.
