Luke Littler Signs Up for 13 Darts Exhibitions, Set to Earn Over £130,000 This Year
Luke Littler, the reigning world champion who recently turned 18, is set to take the darts world by storm this year. Having reached the age to compete in ‘friendly’ exhibition events away from the TV spotlight, Littler is diving into the action with 13 exhibitions on his calendar, which could earn him over £130,000 throughout the year.
The first event is already scheduled for April 25 in Kelso, Scotland, with tickets for the night already sold out. According to The Sun, top darts players typically pocket more than £10,000 per night for exhibition appearances. Premium tickets can go for as much as £300, with players also cashing in on merchandise sales.
Littler’s schedule is jam-packed, with no time to rest. He will perform in Kelso just 24 hours after Night 12 of Premier League Darts in Liverpool, and immediately after, he heads to Ayr racecourse on April 26 for an afternoon-evening double-header.
In May, Littler will be joined by darts legends Luke Humphries, Phil Taylor, and Raymond van Barneveld for an exhibition in Leicester, set to take place the day after Night 15 of Premier League Darts in Aberdeen, a whopping 400 miles away.
Other exhibitions on his busy schedule include stops in Blackpool, Skegness, Derby, Northampton, Warrington, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, and Portsmouth, as Littler’s calendar quickly fills up with exciting darts events.
