Last-Minute Wimbledon Tickets

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

Alternatively, you can purchase one of the many last-minute Wimbledon Ground Admission tickets. These tickets grant you access to the No. 2 court standing enclosure, unreserved seating and standing on Courts 3 to 19, and the grounds.

There are also a number of No. 3 Court tickets available from Ticketmaster the day before play.

If you can’t get any of those tickets, there are big screens set up all over London that show the tennis every day during the tournament. While it’s not Centre court, it certainly beats missing out on Wimbledon entirely.
