Qualified Players
The World Masters is only open to invited players. Before entering the World Masters, please ensure you are on the list of qualified players. A full list is available on the WDF website and this list will be regularly updated until entries close on Monday, September 30th.
Hotel Bookings Update
Festival Travel has provided several great hotels to choose from on the website. These are the major partner hotels of the tournament where most players will stay and will therefore offer a great social hub for visitors to Hungary.
By default, the packages and prices available for each hotel are for five days, checking in on Tuesday, October 8th and checking out on Sunday, October 13th. Incorporated into the costs (which start at €90 per person, per night), are transfers to and from the airport to your selected hotel, transfers between the hotel and the playing venue for each day of the tournament and breakfast each morning of each guest's stay.
If you have not already booked your hotel package for the 2024 WDF World Masters we encourage you to do this soon as the current prices listed are Early Bird Discounts. These rates will only be available until Monday 5th August, so don't delay!
