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 also chosen randomly by a computerised selection process.

Please note that the 2008 AELTC public ballot has now closed. No applications postmarked later than 31st December 2007 will be entered into the ballot.

Successful applicants will be informed from February onwards.

All tickets, excluding debentures, are strictly non-transferable and must not be sold, nor advertised for sale, anywhere.

Tickets should NOT be purchased as gifts. They are only valid for use by the original applicant (and their guest(s) where applicable).

If you are unable to use the ticket(s) issued to you, please contact (prior to the day of play) the organisation from whom you purchased the tickets. In many circumstances, the AELTC, and those bodies to whom it issues tickets, are able to operate a flexible returns/refund policy.

 Conditions of Sale of Tickets

If you are phoning with an enquiry about the ballot for Wheelchair spaces, please specify this when you call and your call will be transferred to the relevant member of the Ticket Office team.

Note: The Ticket Office is available for all ticket and ballot enquiries but is NOT a Box Office.
