Price was punished for missing six match dartsCredit: RexPrice, who won Night 3’s event in Dublin last week, was hoping to land another darts win in Exeter.
But he crashed out in the quarters with a 6-4 loss to Humphries.
However, the pair played out an almost-farcical end to their clash.
And fans could not believe their eyes as a total of THIRTEEN darts were missed to win the final leg.
Humphries needed 36 to win the match but could not hit the D18 as his first three match darts missed the target.
Price then stepped up, with the Welshman needing a D20 to finish on 40.
But, like Humphries, he too could not get a single dart on target.
The pressure turned back to Humphries, who this time needed to hit D9 after being left with 18.

Yet he made it SIX match darts missed by going bust with a wild miss.
Price was then expected to level the scores at 5-5 with another shot at D20.
But once again, his three darts went above the mark.
And Humphries, after missing his first throw, ended the game by finally hitting the D9 target.
The thrilling moment was cheered by fans inside the arena.
Yet those watching at home were equally entertained.
One said: “What on earth was that last leg?”
Another declared: “Expected that to be a lot higher standard.”
One noted: “That was embarrassing.”
Another added: “What a chance to maintain the momentum, thrown away.”
Humphries’ win saw him set up a semi-final tie against Rob Cross.
And he was forced to come through another tough test as he reached the final with a 6-5 victory.
It saw Humphries come up against old rival Luke Littler, who himself had KO’d Stephen Bunting and Nathan Aspinall.
Littler got off to a fast start in the final, having NEVER lost to Humphries in seven Premier League encounters.
But Humphries stormed back from 3-1 down to win 6-4, and claim his second victory of this year’s tournament.
