Is anyone going to the darts and knows what time the doors open Friday?

It starts at 8pm but I can't find anything about what time the doors open.

Cheers!

The World's Best in Dubai- PDC Darts 23-5-2013
THE world's top eight darts players are to visit Dubai this year for the Dubai Duty Free Darts Masters, which will be played on May 23 & 24 at the Dubai Tennis Stadium as the first leg of the PDC's World Series of Darts. Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor, the reigning and 16-time World Champion, will head the field of eight players who will compete in the knockout event, the first-ever professional darts tournament to be held in Dubai. Taylor will be joined by seven world-class rivals in competing in the two-day event at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium. The players will initially compete in four knockout quarter-final matches on Thursday May 23, before the semi-finals and final are held on Friday May 24 to determine the Dubai Duty Free Darts Masters champion. The event, which is sponsored by Dubai Duty Free and was brokered by One Events and Radar, will be shown live across the Middle East on Dubai Sports and through OSN, with further live coverage to be confirmed. One-day tickets for the Dubai Duty Free Darts Masters will be sold at AED199, with early bird season tickets to cover both days sold at AED299. VIP Tickets (front two rows) will be sold as season tickets at AED495. Tickets will be sold through Irish Village (www.irishvillage.ae) and Timeout Tickets (www.itp.net/tickets).

And Phil Taylor was knocked out last night. Watched on OSN last night, maybe because it was the first night, but atmosphere looked a bit underwhelming.
