Wimbledon Tickets and Discounts

Getting tickets to the Wimbledon Tennis Championships takes a lot of patience and starts almost a year in advance of Wimbledon.

Wimbledon tickets are procured through a public ballot system, which is followed by a lottery.

To enter the lottery for Wimbledon tickets, you must request a ballot form between August 1 and December 15 of the prior year from The Ticket Office, AELTC, P.O. Box 98, London SW19 5AE.

When you mail your ballor for Wimbledon tickets, make sure to enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope according to the guidelines. One ballot per household is allowed.

After the December deadline, all ballots are complied and a random draw is done. Successful ballot holders are notified in February. You are not given a choice as to what day or court your tickets are for.

Due to the high demand and the lottery process, discounts on Wimbledon tickets are not available.

If you can't get Wimbledon tickets through the lottery, you can take the train or tube to Wimbledon and get last minute tickets at the gates of Wimbledon on the day of play.

Last Minute Wimbledon Tickets

Ticket
Originally uploaded by Bill on Capitol Hill

Getting tickets to the Wimbledon Tennis Championships takes time and patience, and usually starts months in advance of the actual event.

However, 500 last minute Wimbledon tickets for Centre and No. 1 and 2 courts are sold each day prior to the opening. Many dedicated Wimbledon fans camp out overnight in order to hold their place in the last minute ticket queue, so if you want to get last minute Wimbledon tickets, make sure to show up early.

Alternately, you can purchase one of the 6,000 last minute Wimbledon Ground Admission tickets that grant you access to the No. 2 court standing enclosure, unreserved seating and standing on Courts 3 to 19, and the grounds.

Many people sit on the hill above the courts to watch the tennis from above. While it's not centre court, it certainly beats missing out on Wimbledon entirely.
