The 2023 Wimbledon Championships have arrived and tennis fans can still get hold of tickets for one of the most hotly anticipated sporting events of the summer.
The ballot for tickets unsurprisingly sold out, but Wimbledon remains one of the very few major sporting events where the public can buy premium tickets on the day of play. That comes in the form of The Queue.
Organisers will put 500 tickets on sale for Centre Court (excluding the last four days), No.1 Court, and No.2 Court for each day the courts are in play. Grounds passes will also be available, enabling access to courts including No.3 Court, Court 12 and Court 18, as well as Murray Mount, where action from Centre and No.1 Courts will be screened.
The Queue usually starts the evening before and increases very early in the morning of play. Wimbledon's website states that fans who join the queue by 9am have a good chance of getting hold of a ticket or a grounds pass, though this is not guaranteed.
They warn that there is a capacity limit and once it is reached, entry will only be possible if people leave for the day. Tickets in The Queue will be sold on a best available, one per person basis and are non-transferable.
Ground Passes are priced at £27 and will be reduced from day nine of the championships onwards. Spectators on site can also make use of the ticket resale scheme or by purchasing Debentures tickets via secondary market resellers.
When buying returned show tickets, attendees must go to Ticket Resale Kiosk north of Court 18. Those tickets will be available for £15 for Centre Court and £10 for Courts No.1 and No.2, though they will not be sold before 3pm.
Returned ballot tickets will only be sold to those who were unsuccessful in the ballot, due to limited availablity. Any one eligible for those tickets will have received an email detailing how to access the resale process.
Organisers have warned though that ticket integrity is being treated with the 'utmost importance. As a result, tickets are being limited to strictly one pair of tickets per household.
