 Fans are strongly urged to be ready to book fast for next year’s event at York Barbican, which will run from November 23rd to December 1st. For all details, visit https://wst.tv/tickets/2024-uk-championship/ 

 First staged in 1977, the UK Championship is one of snooker’s Triple Crown events, with incredible history and prestige. Ticket sales are increasing year after year as fans enjoy the extraordinary atmosphere and the ever-improving experience of a day out on the World Snooker Tour.

 A spokesman for WST said: “This has become the hottest ticket in town, particularly since we changed the format last year, which enhanced the atmosphere in the arena. Plus there is so much to do aside from watching the action on the tables, including the chance to try snooker yourself in CueZone, enjoy interactive games and watch the pros practising.

 “We’ve seen superb matches already this week, including six which have gone to a deciding frame! And it will build towards an enthralling conclusion as the giants of the sport go head to head. Make sure you will be there next year as one of the lucky few to see the tournament unfold inside York Barbican.”
