The grounds normally open each day at There are a few different ways to get tickets for the Wimbledon Championships, but the main way is through the ballot. If you get an offer email you have a certain number of days to pay for your tickets. Ballots for returned tickets go on right up until the tournament starts. At the pricey end of the spectrum are hospitality packages and debenture seats. Debentures are five-year season passes to Wimbledon where you get the best seats on Centre Court and No 1 Court for each day of the Championships.
More reasonable are the tickets available on Ticketmaster, but there are only a few hundred so you need to get in there quick. There are a couple of different types — returned tickets sold off 48 hours in advance and reserved tickets sold off in the morning for the next day. A limited number of seats for Centre Court except during the last four days , No 1 and 2 Courts are sold off on the day of play. These let you watch matches on the unreserved courts 3—18 as well as the big matches on screen from Henman Hill or Murray Mound, depending on your age!
The roads get very clogged up so the best way to get there is by public transport, but be prepared for queues. The closest Tube station is Southfields, an easy minute walk away straight down Wimbledon Park Road.
Or Wimbledon station is slightly further away. Think smart casual though, especially for Centre Court and No 1 Court. The weather can play a big part in any Wimbledon Championships. Save some money by packing a picnic in advance, and be sure to include enough water for the whole day. Leave the selfie stick at home though; they have been banned at the tennis club ever since they first became popular.
Of course, before venturing to SW19, you need to have a plan for tickets. Wimbledon is one of few major sport events to reserve tickets for sale on the day, but beware: the queue for tickets at Wimbledon is as legendary as the event itself. Speaking of which…. If you want a true Wimbledon experience, start queuing at 5pm the day before and get in the camping spirit!
When you get off you can either walk for about 25 minutes to the grounds or hop on a free bus provided by the AELTC. The event staff do a comprehensive job of signage and providing directions in stations and tube cars themselves. Overground Train Traveling via an Overground train is another option. In this case get off at Wimbledon stop and you will either have a 45 minute trek to the grounds or a 10 minute free bus journey furnished by the event.
Bus London General operates a bus service direct from some of the main stations dispersed around London including St. The buses depart every 30 minutes but could take the better part of an hour in traffic. Tram Trams run every 5 minutes from East Croydon station to Wimbledon station during the day on Monday to Saturday, and once every minutes on Sundays and early mornings-evenings.
This service takes around 25 minutes. There is a cab queue at the facilities for those wishing to take one after the event but keep in mind that dozens of other fans might have the same plan at the exact same time…. Cycle A lot of Londoners head to South West London for long cycle rides on the weekend because there is far less congestion many more parks available. Driving your own car If you opt to drive your own car, there is event parking available but expect some congestion entering and leaving the groups.
