Gerwyn Price has fan ejected from Premier League Darts after Stephen Bunting incident

Gerwyn Price demanded that a fan be ejected from the venue in Sheffield during his Premier League Darts semi-final against Stephen Bunting.

Price was 2-1 up in legs at the time of the incident, with Bunting having just thrown his first dart from the oche.

Bunting appeared to have been distracted by something in the crowd, with Price promptly walking over to the edge of the stage to exchange words with a spectator in Sheffield.

Price gesticulated and pointed towards the spectator, before informing referee Owen Binks about what had happened.

Security were then called to the incident, and a loud cheer was heard among the rest of the fans in Sheffield once they arrived and escorted the fan out of the building.

"Well, sorry about this unforeseen interlude," co-commentator Wayne Mardle said.

"Stephen Bunting, currently seventh in the table, looking to win the evening and somehow jump a few spots. Gerwyn Price looking to win and cement third in the table.

"Right, said person, we think, has been ejected."

"A scenario we didn't discuss is, what happened if a match becomes abandoned?" commentator Rod Studd asked.

Fortunately, that particular scenario did not need to be discussed, as Bunting was able to continue with his throw once the fan was ejected.

'The Bullet' went on to win the match 6-3, before defeating Luke Humphries in the final by the same scoreline to win week 16.

Bunting climbed from seventh to fifth as a result of the victory, leapfrogging Gian van Veen and Michael van Gerwen. He knew heading into the night that he could not mathematically qualify for the play-off stage by finishing in the top four.

Finals night takes place next Thursday at the O2 Arena, with Luke Littler, Jonny Clayton, Humphries and Price all set to compete.

Humphries managed to overtake Price into third place by defeating Littler 6-1 in the semi-finals, meaning he will not take on both his main rival and the reigning world champion in the semi-finals and instead faces Clayton.

Why Gerwyn Price had fan ejected from Premier League Darts

During Sky Sports' post-match coverage, 2008 world semi-finalist Mardle cleared up the reason behind why Price asked the fan to be ejected.

"There was an issue with someone being a bit of a wally," Mardle stated.

"Price apparently said he was not going to throw another dart until they were expelled from the venue, and they were."

Price has yet to comment on the incident on either his Facebook or Instagram pages.

He did post a message prior to the night in Sheffield, thanking both his sponsors and fans for their support during the 2026 Premier League campaign.

"It's been a tough up and down but enjoyable campaign, but made the best campaign of all by the support shown every week online and even more so at every venue," he wrote.

"A big thank you also to all my sponsors that have stuck with me year after year and hopefully continues into the next coming seasons, I feel things are just getting started."
