Was it hard to get tickets? I'm told over 60% of the tickets every year automatically goto the Wimbeldon club, and everyone else has to scramble for the remaining 40-odd %.
Also, can you drink on the courts?
You can drink on the courts but mostly Pimms and Champagne!
There are three ways to get tickets if you have no connections.
Join the queue around 24 hours before the day you want - - 500 centre and number 1 tickets go there or
500 tickets to centre court go on sale at 9am on ticket master the following days play - that method will be familiar members on here - captcha- bots etc - it's fastest fingers first. That's how I got tickets for mens semis yesterday.
The largest allocation of tickets go to the public raffle. Around 5k tickets for centre and 6k tickets for number one and nearly all number 2 court tickets each day go to the public raffle. You apply in August and the closing date is December, I have never once in 20 years plus of trying the public raffle got tickets that way.
In addition if you are a member of an LTA member club as I am you can enter the LTA members raffle and they have about 2k tickets for centre and number one court tickets each day. I once got tickets that way in about 5 years of trying.
you can buy a ground pass each day that gets you into courts 3 to 18 but you have to queue and you need to be in the queue around 6am to get into 3, 12 or 18 (non tickets show courts).
Other ways to get ticekts is to know someone. My grandad was an umpire back in the sixties so is on the staff list and they get random allocation each year so I have got ticekts that way around 10 times.
Then there is knowing a sponsor - eg Robinson are official drinks supplier and I once got invited to a corporate thing with them as I dael with them at work.
Finally if your rich you can buy a debenture or a days debenture but you need at least £1k each for that route minimum.
