 Ticket information

Buying tickets on the day of play

The queue has an allocation of tickets for Centre Court, No.1 Court, No.2 Court and Ground Admission. A substantial queue forms for the daily allocation of tickets. For a Ground pass it is usually necessary to join the queue several hours before the Grounds open. For a show court ticket some people chose to queue overnight; this queue is contained within a designated area and strictly controlled to ensure minimum disruption to our neighbours.

Tickets are sold on a strictly one per person queueing basis; payment is by cash only to maintain speed of entry.

Do NOT buy tickets from touts or other unauthorised agents; they will not gain you entry to the grounds.
