The remaining 32 places went to players from three qualifying events - 20 from the UK Qualifier (held in Barnsley on 13 March), eight from the European Qualifier and four from the Host Nation Qualifier (both held at the venue before the day before the event started).[2][3]

Phil Taylor withdrew due to illness a day before the start of the tournament. Jamie Caven, the highest ranked UK Qualifier, was moved up to the top 16 of the PDC ProTour Order of Merit. Therefore, there was a free place for the Host Nation Qualifier.[4]
