Some wimbledon tickets cost £80,000 but get you a prime seat for every day for 5 years, and are tradeable like financial securities. On the other hand, you could pay only £37 and get a great single day seat, like I did, if you are willing to wait in line on the day of play. (A VERY long time!)
Most Wimbledon tickets are not resellable, but a handful are: that's why will be listed at thousands of dollars on sites like Stub Hub - BUT you don't have to break the bank to attend Wimbledon. You CAN get in to see top players for around £30-£40.

From the high-priced Debenture tickets to the more affordable options like The Ballot and The Queue, I break down all the ways you can get your hands on a ticket to one of the world's most prestigious sporting events.
I share my personal experience of scoring a front-row seat at the Number 1 court for just £37 and waiting in line for half a day. I also delve into the unique ticketing system of Wimbledon, explaining why resale tickets on ticket reseller websites are so expensive and how you can still find affordable options if you know where to look.
Whether you're a die-hard tennis fan or just someone looking to tick off a bucket list item, this video is for you. I'll guide you through the process, share tips and tricks, and help you understand how to navigate the complex world of Wimbledon ticketing.

Always an education to listen to you, Preet. Glad you made it in after 7 hrs. Probably something I'll never do, but like you used to watch the final Grand Slams religiously. Was a huge Stefi Graff fan (showing my age), and well, without the rivalry between Fed and Nadal I've turned to other things. How all is well.

I was an Ivan Lendl fan! (As well as Graff). I went solo but my wife says she will join me next year so that will certainly help pass the time. Plus I would definitely bring a tiny folding chair or towel to lie on lol

Thanks, Anil! I'm definitely signing up for the ballot this year, but I would absolutely queue again in 2024. It had been a while since I watched tennis (on tv) and being at Wimbledon in the flesh certainly helped rekindle my interest.

I did the ballot last year and didn't get anything but I was able to purchase a returned ticket after the ballot was completed (I think only available to people who had entered the ballot). I got a centre court ticket for middle monday. As a massive tennis fan it was one of the best experiences of my life.

i got “second hand” tickets last year…if you register to the ballot and don’t win it, you get notified when all tickets are assigned…anyhow you can try to get return ticket but you must be very fast…i spent hours and hours of the website but i made it ❤

100% recommend! If you don’t get a ballot ticket, bring something to read or lots of podcasts queued up. And maybe wear something that you could sit in directly on the ground. (It’s not all grass in the park with so many people shuffling around.) I’m still waiting to see if I win a ballot entry but if not I’m most likely still going to go again this year 😊

Nah that's not true regarding the ballot mate. My wife and I 'won' at the ballot and on the day they opened up to ballot winners for ticket purchasing, we got to choose our day. We chose women's final on centre court.
@PreetBanerjee
@PreetBanerjee 9 місяців тому
What year was that? Perhaps they recently changed the process? See here from the official Wimbledon site: www.wimbledon.com/en_GB/atoz/ballot.html
@danthealien8360
@danthealien8360 9 місяців тому
@PreetBanerjee maybe changed then, yeah. 2023, this year - I got an email earlier in the year to say that I'd been successful and then I was granted access to the ticketing website on a particular day and I got to choose the day/court. I could swear I had mens final tickets in my basket but website had a problem and I lost them. Selected women's finals instead. Tickets were 260ish each (we were allowed a max of 2). In any case, your video was really helpful - I've been trying to wrap my head around how Debenture works for ages, you explained it nice and simply.

@@danthealien8360 Fingers crossed I win a ballot pair, but if not I’ll queue up again as my wife wanted to go this year but couldn’t get off work. Waiting in line with her will make the time go by much more quickly. Would love to get tickets to a final - that must be an epic experience.
