| 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. To enter the draw for 2010 ballot you must first obtain an application form from 1st August 2009. (Requests postmarked after 15th December 2009 will NOT be processed.) Completed forms must be returned no later than 31st December 2009. To obtain a Public Ballot Application form, please send a self-addressed,
stamped envelope DL size (110mm x 220mm, 4 1/4 " x 8 5/8") - to: Ticket Office Note: Applications which are not accompanied by a self-addressed, stamped envelope will not be processed. 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. Only ONE application per household is permitted. Please do not ask for more than one form: we will void your applications. OVERSEAS BALLOT APPLICANTS Please enclose an International Reply Coupon (in place of a stamp) where possible. If your country does not have International Reply Coupons, please contact the Ticket Office (details below). WHEELCHAIR BALLOT Wheelchair users have a separate ballot for Show Court spaces suitable for wheelchairs. Please specify that you require a Wheelchair form in your ballot application. | ||

TICKET RESALE KIOSK The Club makes every effort to ensure that seat tickets which are no longer needed are made available for resale to people already within the grounds. Original ticket holders are requested to put their unwanted tickets in special red boxes for collection by the Honorary Stewards or, if they wish to retain them as souvenirs, to have the barcodes scanned on leaving the grounds so that a new ticket may be generated. The tickets are re-distributed at a nominal charge from the Ticket Resale kiosk inside the grounds. The entire proceeds will be donated to charities including (but not limited to):
HSBC, the Official Bank of The Championships, Wimbledon, has generously agreed to donate
to these charities in 2010 a sum equal to the total amount raised by the ticket resale scheme. |
