Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

One thousand fans will be permitted to attend each session of the PDC World Darts Championship at Alexandra Palace, the event’s promoter, Matchroom Sport, has confirmed.

The showpiece tournament, famous for its raucous atmosphere, is set to begin on 15 December and will run until 3 January, with fans returning to a PDC event in England for the first time since March.

Supporters from Tier 1 or Tier 2 areas will be allowed to attend sessions on tables of four seats consisting of one household or support bubble.

Tickets will be available on general sale on Friday 4 December after a priority period for PDC members.

PDC was among the first organisations to resume action after the pandemic brought a halt to global sport in March, with players competing from within their homes over live video feeds before returning properly in July.

A limited number of spectators have attended events in Europe, however, the majority have been played behind closed doors in Coventry or Milton Keynes.
