 AELTC Public Ballot

 

As long ago as 1924, the Club introduced a public ballot whereby the majority of Centre, No.1 and No.2 Court tickets are sold in advance.

The Public Ballot has always been substantially oversubscribed. Entry into the Ballot does not automatically entitle applicants to tickets for Wimbledon, but a place in the draw for a pair of tickets.

Successful applicants are selected at random by computer. It is not possible to request tickets for specific days or courts, as the day and court offered are chosen randomly by a computerised selection process.


 Applying for the 2010 Public Ballot

The 2010 Public Ballot is now closed. No new applications for the 2010 Championships will be accepted.

 
 Applying for the 2011 Public Ballot

Applications for the 2011 Public Ballot will be accepted from August 2010 until December 2010.


 2010 Public Ballot


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.

STEP ONE The closing date for applications has now passed.

You need to fill in a Public Ballot application form:

To obtain an application form, send in a self-addressed, stamped envelope to: AELTC, P.O. BOX 98, London SW19 5AE by 15 December 2009.

No letter required. If you do not send in a stamped, self-addressed envelope, you will not receive a form. 

There is a separate ballot for wheelchair spaces so please make sure you write clearly “WHEELCHAIR” on both the outer and on your return envelope.


Non-UK residents should send in an International Reply Coupon instead of a stamp. If your post office does not provide these, please send your self-addressed envelope with a letter.

  • The self-addressed, stamped envelope should have your return address and should be approximately 110mm x 220mm, (4 1/4 " x 8 5/8")
  • Requests postmarked after 15 December 2009 will NOT be processed
  • We will not issue forms to personal callers after 15 December 2009.

STEP TWO
After we receive the self-addressed, stamped envelope, we will send you an application form.

STEP THREE The closing date for returning applications has now passed

You will need to complete and return the application form before 24 January 2010 to be entered into the ballot.

  • Read and follow the instructions carefully before completing the form. If you break any of the rules all tickets you may be offered will be cancelled.
  • Completed forms must be returned no later than 24 January 2010.
  • Send completed forms to: AELTC, P.O. BOX 98, London SW19 5AE  
  • No S.A.E. required
STEP FOUR There will be ballots taking place from January until the week before The Championships. If you are successful, you will be informed by post from February 2010 until June 2010.
STEP FIVE Successful applicants will be able to pay for their tickets by credit card through a secure website or by posting in a cheque.
STEP SIX You will receive your tickets from the third week of May

 



Why can’t I download an application form from the website?

When we receive your completed application form, we scan the details into our ballot database. The scanning equipment we use is sensitive both to the inks used to print the application forms and to the positioning of the boxes.

An application form printed on a desktop printer run from a PC would not be able to match either the scale and register of colours on the forms or the precise position of the boxes. As a result, our scanner would not recognise the data and your completed form would be unusable and therefore void.

Whilst we have introduced online payments, currently there are no plans for online applications: we require you to sign an original form, agreeing to the terms and conditions of the ballot to which we refer should a query arise as to the validity of the application/ applicant.
