Dart fans are outraged by ‘disgusting’ beer prices after being charged nearly £10 a pint at the O2.
A photo of the bar fare at the London venue during Thursday night’s Premier League Darts final went viral on social media.
While the 14,000-strong crowd enjoyed top quality oche action with 17-year-old sensation Luke Littler lifting the trophy, they were ripped off when it came to liquid refreshment.
The ‘cheapest’ pint – Budweiser and Stella Artois lagers, plus Camden Stout – cost an eye-watering £8.95 per pint.
More ‘premium’ beers cost even more, with Camden Pale Ale costing £9.25 and Camden Hells Lager £9.50.

Cider was no cheaper: Thatchers Gold cost £8.95 and Thatchers Fusion cost £9.25.
There was also nothing to be gained by buying in bulk, as the price of a two-pint glass was exactly double the price of one pint.
Even half a pint cost £4.85 or more as thirsty darts fans had to pay their dues.
One response on
“Disgusting prices,” opined another, while another tweet said: “At least if you buy two you’re only paying twice the price.”
Another user commented: ‘They have a captive audience of clowns whose reason for attending the event is to show up in costume, drink industrial quantities of overpriced beer and sing nonsensical songs while watching the action on a big screen . Manna from heaven for the O2.’
Another tweet read: ‘Disgusting prices considering everyone throwing their pints in the air.’

Teenager Littler continued his astonishing progress by beating Luke Humphries – who beat him in the World Cup final – 11-7 to claim his first television title.
World No. 1 Humphries could only watch in admiration as Littler hit an incredible nine-darter on his way to victory, his fourth of 2024. Littler pocketed £275,000 in prize money.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the win, Littler said: ‘To all the doubters, you don’t doubt me anymore! I just picked this up.
‘It’s so good to win, but in front of my family and my girlfriend! I don’t know what to do.
“I hit a nine-darter in the World Series and so did Phil [Taylor] – now I hit one here in the final, and so did he.’
