It took little more than a week for the 850 seats to be snapped up for the Betfred.Com Premier League Snooker tournament featuring world number one Ronnie O'Sullivan on Thursday, February 10.

Jimmy White, Paul Hunter and Marco Fu will also be showing off their skills in the televised event which comes to the Glades Arena in association with the Shuttle/ Times and News.

Editor, Clive Joyce, said: "The interest has been phenomenal and it should be a great night.

The tournament is part of the £250,000 Betfred league competition and the six-frame matches will see O'Sullivan play Hunter, while White meets Fu.
