Wimbledon "The Championships" is the most sought after and over subscribed ticket in professional sports. For many people, tickets to Wimbledon are a bucket list item, and getting them from a reliable, experienced ticket agency is a must. There are three types of Wimbledon tickets; Grounds Passes, Court 1 Reserved or Center Court tickets. Our agency only handles the Court 1 and Center Court Reserved Debenture tickets. Grounds passes give access to the outside courts and can be purchased directly from the box office on the day of the matches and sell out quickly. Expect to wait in long lines "the infamous Queue" which can start overnight and wind its way around an adjacent park.
Center Court Debenture Seating - These are the only tickets allowed to be resold at Wimbledon. The Debenture tickets for center court are located in the 200 Gangways (sections) and the first few rows of the 300 Gangways (sections) as you can see in orange on the seating chart below. The 100 Level seats are secured through the Wimbledon lottery and are not to be traded in the secondary market. Your ticket is valid for the entire day and allows access to all outside courts on a first come first serve basis with the exception of the show courts, which require separate tickets. All Debenture tickets come with access to the Debenture holders lounge.
No More Rain Outs on Wimbledon Centre Court and Court Number 1 - Spectators with Center Court and Court Number 1 tickets can finally be assured that they will see a full day of tennis without weather delays.
Dining Options - Debenture Market ticket holders have access to the exclusive debenture ticket holders lounges. If that isn't enough, you also have access to a slew of dinning and bar options located around the grounds.
The Royal Box at Wimbledon Center Court - Seating behind the Royal Box is very hard to find. As the Royal Box goes all the way down to the court, there is no 100 Level behind the Royal Box. Seats in sections ( aka Gangway ) 301 and 318 go up to rows Q and have excellent views behind the server and are considered some of the best seats at Wimbledon.
Managing your Wimbledon tickets - All tickets for The Championships 2024 are issued digitally via the myWIMBLEDON app. Please make sure you have the latest version of the myWIMBLEDON app downloaded onto your phone. Guests must download this app prior to attending as tickets will need to be displayed on the app in order to gain entry on the day, along with a valid form of photo ID. When tickets have been transferred to you (from eSeats.com) you will receive a confirmation email stating this. The email will come from noreply@wimbledon.tickets. This message may appear in your junk box. You must click on the ‘Accept Tickets’ icon within the email, which then opens up the app/webpage. Click on MANAGE BENEFITS (webpage)or TICKETS (app) and then ‘Your Tickets’where you will see the ticket details listed. The ticketing system has been upgraded this year, allowing you to sort by date and seat location for ease when forwarding on (webpage only).
Transferring a ticket to another person - This option is intended for those who are not the end user. Transferring a ticket passes the ‘rights’ of the ticket(s) to the end user, who can then pass on any additional tickets to their guests. Everyone must have a myWIMBLEDON app in order to receive tickets.
Wimbledon Ticket Prices - Wimbledon tickets are among the most expensive tickets in sport because the demand far exceeds the available supply of these tickets. Wimbledon Tickets are sold to you at "Market Price" which is set by the owners of the debenture tickets and are generally much higher than the original price printed on the tickets. All tickets are guaranteed to be delivered to you in pairs side by side.
Getting to the All England Lawn and Tennis Club - From central London, take a westbound District line train to Southfields, located 15 minutes away from the grounds, or Wimbledon, located 20 minutes from The Championship grounds. The other decent option would be to take a Tram. Trams run from East Croydon station to Wimbledon every 10-15 minutes from Monday to Saturday, and every 20 minutes on Sundays. The Southfields and Wimbledon stations offer the nearest tube lines to the All England Lawn Tennis Club grounds - both stops are on the District Line. Wimbledon is based in South-West London and is in zone 3.
Your day at Wimbledon - Wimbledon debenture tickets are for the whole day's play on Centre Court, and provide full access to the unreserved seating on the outside courts of the All England Lawn Tennis Ground. Rain delays and cancelled matches are a thing of the past. Wimbledon grounds opens daily at 10.30 a.m. BST. Play on Centre Court, the venue's top show court, starts at 1 p.m every day except for finals' weekend, when play starts at 2 p.m. Play on No. 1 Court, the second show court, starts at 1 p.m. throughout the entire tournament, while play on all other courts is scheduled to start at 11.30 a.m. for at least the first eight days. Of course, all of the above can be affected by weather.
Don't miss the strawberries and cream - Wimbledon Strawberries and Cream. A visit to Wimbledon is never complete without indulging oneself with a cup of strawberries and cream. I've splurged myself during my trip to Wimbledon and highly recommend you do as well. So where does this tradition of Strawberries and cream come from anyways?
Dinining Options for Debenture Ticket Holders - Centre Court debenture holders have access to The Courtside, The Renshaw, The Champions’ Room, The Terrace, The Roof Top, The Courtside Balcony and The Gallery. No.1 Court debenture holders have access to The Renshaw, No.1 Court Debenture Holders’ Lounge and Wingfield Restaurant. Reservations may be made for The Courtside, The Champions’ Room and The Renshaw restaurants (subject to availability) by contacting an eSeats.com agent for assitance.
The Courtside and The Renshaw restaurants get the most requests. The Courtside Restaurant is situated in a superb location, on Level 3 of the Centre Court Debenture Holders Lounge, only a short distance to your seats on Centre Court. The Courtside Restaurant is open to Center Court debenture holder tickets only. The Renshaw Restaurant which is named after the famous Renshaw twins who once played at Wimbledon, is located within Court One, and is held solely for Wimbledon Debenture ticket holders. The Courtside restaurant is the premier waiter-served restaurant serving debenture holders a wide range of hot and cold three-course lunches and traditional Wimbledon afternoon tea. The wines have been specially selected to enhance your dining experience. The restaurant features showcases displaying memorable objects and images from Wimbledon history. Reservations can be made for a maximum of six persons per table and for lunch only.
The strawberry has been growing wild in Great Britain for centuries and it was in the early part of the 17th Century that it began to be properly cultivated. Mrs Beeton in her Victorian Book of Household Management suggests it got its name from the fact that people used to put straw under the growing berries to keep them moist and clean. The link between the Wimbledon Tennis Championships and strawberries probably came about because June is not far off the beginning of the English strawberry season. Some early and canny Wimbledon caterer grasped the opportunity to make a quick profit by serving a handful of them with a dollop of cream to the tennis eager spectators. It has now become a traditional part of this quintessentially English end of June event and is held the week after Royal Ascot.
