Wimbledon 2024

First of all, congrats on getting tickets! You'll have a fantastic time. I've been to Wimbledon twice so feel like I know the gist of things.

First things first, if you're traveling to the venue by tube get off at Southfields instead of Wimbledon as it's actually nearer to the venue itself. When you get off at Southfields you'll be following the crowds and stewards, it's about a twenty minute walk.

As you alluded to yourself having a ticket already means very little queuing. You'll be sent to a particular gate to queue, perhaps it might say where on your tickets or confirmation email. You'll wait with a group of about 50 people or so and you'll be let in to collect your tickets. It's all extremely straightforward and stress free, and all the staff there are extremely polite and helpful which makes the whole vibe even nicer.

If you're on court 2 then play starts at 11am, so I'd recommend getting there for around half 9, or maybe a little earlier. Give yourself some time to walk around the grounds and explore before things get crazy busy in the evening. It's a lovely place, and there's lots to see. You'll also be able to see players on the practice courts, if you're lucky you may even see a big name.

Your tickets are just for court 2, but court 3 or lower are open to anybody on site, so if there's any matches you'd like to see there then you can check them out too (though space could be tight).

As you know from watching on TV you can only leave your seat during changeovers, so be aware of the fact that if you do leave to eat/drink/use the toilet it could take 15/20 minutes to get back in. It'll be a great day, but also very long, so make sure you use your opportunities in between matches to eat some food, I remember being starving by the time it got to 1/2pm. And don't forget to have some Pimms! It's absolutely gorgeous.

I think I've covered as much as I can, feel free to ask anything else. If you'd like some other perspectives you can ask on The Tennis Thread 2025 here on the racquet sports forum. Enjoy your day when it comes!

You can of course come back! Your ticket is for the entire day of court 2 play, from the first point to the last. It's possible someone could take your seat on the assumption you've left for the day, but just ask them to move and they'll move no bother. I had to ask someone to move a couple of times and there's never been any issues. On the off chance there is, there's plenty of security and stewards around who'll shift the person for you, if need be!
