Wimbledon remains one of the very few major UK sporting events
for which one can still buy premium tickets on the day of play.
Ticket
Availability
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.
There is an allocation of tickets for Centre Court, No.1 Court,
No.2 Court and Ground Admission for sale on the day. Please
follow signage and stewards instructions to join the queue
for these tickets.
For a ground pass, it is usually necessary to join the queue
several hours before the grounds open. For a show court ticket,
many people choose to queue overnight to maximise their chances
of being able to purchase a ticket for Centre, No.1 or No.2
Court.
On your arrival at the end of the queue you will be issued with a Queue Card. This card is dated and numbered to show your position in the queue. It must be retained and will be checked on entry to the Grounds.
Wristbands, marked by court and with a detachable 'court' tally,
will be offered to queuers according to the number of show court
tickets available. On reaching the entrance kiosk, the tally
must be detached and handed to the cashier who will issue one
ticket for the court on the tally.
Tickets are sold strictly on the basis of one per person
and payment is by CASH ONLY.
Ground
Opening and Closing Times
The grounds are open daily from 10.30am until one hour after
close of play (no later than 10.00pm).
Non-Ticket Holders will not be admitted after 8.00pm.
Children 5 years and over will be charged at the full rate.
Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
Babes in arms will be allowed into the grounds for free, but
are not allowed in Centre Court or Courts 1, 2, 3, 13 & 18.
For safety reasons we recommend that no babes in arms/pushchairs
are brought into the grounds.

Regulations for Luggage
ONE BAG ONLY PER PERSON WILL BE ALLOWED.
This bag must measure no more than 18” x 12" x 12" (45cm x 30cm
x 30cm). Further, NO HARD-SIDED ITEMS (e.g.: picnic hampers,
coolboxes or briefcases) OF ANY SIZE WILL BE ALLOWED INTO THE
GROUNDS.
There are NO left luggage facilities inside the grounds. Left
luggage facilities are provided at a number of locations OUTSIDE
the grounds for items exceeding the above criteria and for any
other items you do not need during the day.
During the tournament, the Club is under considerable pressure
from neighbours and the police to discourage excessive queueing,
especially overnight. In the interests of health and safety,
the queue is requested to minimise disruption by, for example,
not blocking the pavements (forcing passers-by to walk in the
road), or burning barbecues.
Tickets are sold on a strictly one per person basis. The Honorary
Stewards operate a ‘Code of Conduct’ for queues and will arbitrate
in any dispute. Your position in the queue cannot be reserved
by placing of equipment - you must be present in person.
Re-Sale
of Tickets
All tickets, excluding those with the word 'Debenture' printed
on them instead of the price, are strictly non-transferable
and must not be sold, nor advertised for sale, whether on the
internet, in newspapers or elsewhere.
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.
