All You Need to Know About Ticket Prices for Wimbledon Championships 2023

The Wimbledon Championships is just around the corner. From the first week of July, players will battle it out in the only major tournament still played on grass courts, with the aim of claiming the world’s oldest Grand Slam title. For the public to witness the action, they can either watch it from their home, or they can kick it up a notch and buy tickets in one of the five possible ways. 

The Wimbledon 2023 queue tickets

Wimbledon is unusual among big sporting events as it is one of the few tournaments that still allow fans to buy premium tickets on the day of play. Fans can form a queue to get a hold of the ticket, but it is sold on a one-ticket-per-person limit.

In order to watch their favorite tennis players in action, hundreds of fans also camp out in tents overnight, which creates a lively atmosphere around the grounds before the day’s play.

A limited number of tickets for Centre Court, Court 1, and Court 2 are available each day for those who are in the queue, with the exception of the last four days on Centre Court, when all tickets are pre-sold.

Wimbledon 2023 tickets resale

Some ticket holders from the Wimbledon courts leave before play is through on each day of competition. As they make their exit, they return their tickets. However, the slot is not closed as the tickets become available so that someone else can use them.

Anyone can then purchase these tickets for a much lower price than their original value and sit in the allotted seat to watch the competition for the remainder of the day. If one is present on the All England Club grounds, they become eligible for these tickets.

Know about Wimbledon tickets debenture 

Debentures are another way people can watch Wimbledon in the Wimbledon Greyhound Stadium. For five years following the date of purchase, the holder of a Wimbledon debenture has the option to purchase a ticket for that seat, providing them with some of the best seats in the house.

The current Centre Court debentures are valid from 2021 to 2025, and the current Court No.1 debentures will stay active from 2022 to 2026. In contrast to public ballot tickets, a debenture can be purchased through a private agreement or through a stockbroker because they are freely transferable.

Learn about Ground Admission tickets

One can purchase a grounds entry ticket if all they want to do is take in the ambience of the summer tennis tournament. The enclosed courts are not accessible through these, only the grounds outside. Several enormous TV screens positioned throughout the grounds show a live feed of the matches to the public outside. 

A grounds entry ticket costs more at the beginning of the fortnight than it does at the conclusion (£27 in 2022). This is due to increased crowding during the fortnight, which strains the facilities. However, sitting is not included as a part of the grounds ticket. 

There is less likelihood of having a comfortable time on busier days. Murray’s Mount, or Henman’s Hill, is the only place to sit. By the end of the week, there is barely any space left for standing.

Ballot ticket – a missed opportunity

Fans can also grab a chance to watch the tournament live with a ballot system. Since 1924, the public has had the chance to get their hands on a ticket by entering their name into a ballot. Lucky winners get the chance to witness the grass-court action live. Unfortunately, the deadline for voting was in January, and the results were announced in February.

The system was banned in 2020 due to the pandemic but made a return this year. While ballot tickets also fall in the resale category, only those who were unsuccessful in the ballot can buy the returned tickets.
