For a few weeks each June and July, the sporting world’s attention is fixed on the quiet southern suburb of Wimbledon, as it has been since 1877. Most show-court tickets for the Wimbledon Championships are allocated through public ballot, applications for which begin in early August of the preceding year and close at the end of December.
The ballot is famously oversubscribed and entry by no means guarantees a ticket. A quantity of court, grounds and late-entry tickets are available if you queue very early on the day of play. If you want a show-court ticket it is recommended you camp out the night before in the queue – a great experience in itself! See the website for details.
Wimbledon Debenture holders can purchase guaranteed tickets for Centre Court and No1 Court in advance and during the tournament at www.wimbledondebentureholders.com.
