Buying tickets on the day of play

BUYING TICKETS AT THE GROUNDS - QUEUEING

Wimbledon remains one of the very few major UK sporting events for which you can still buy premium tickets on the day of play. Approximately 500 tickets daily for each of the Centre (except for the last 4 days), No.1 and No.2 Courts are reserved for sale at the turnstiles.

Roughly 6000 Ground Admission tickets are available each day for entry to the Grounds, including the No.2 Court standing enclosure and unreserved seating and standing on Courts 3–19. This number may vary depending on the number of people already in the grounds, the number of courts in play and the weather.

AELTC Public Ballot

2008 Championships: 23rd June - 6th July 2008

The majority of Centre, No.1 and No.2 Court tickets are sold in advance via a public ballot. Entry into the ballot does not automatically entitle applicants to tickets for Wimbledon but a place in the draw for tickets.

Please note that the 2008 AELTC Public Ballot has now closed. No applications postmarked later than 31st December 2007 will have been entered into the ballot.

Successful applicants will be informed from February onwards.
