No More Waiting For the Wonder of Wimbledon

In case you didn't notice, the annual tennis extravaganza that is Wimbledon started on Monday, but don't fret as the best is still to come. This year's championships culminate on July 5, so there's still almost two full weeks of Wimbledon action to entertain us.

If you're lucky enough to be in London and are keen to head along to eat strawberries and cream (and watch a match or two), the good news is it is never too late. Wimbledon always keeps some tickets to sell on the morning of the match—at least 500 tickets for the three main courts await the firstcomers at the turnstiles each day, apart from the final days.

They get more expensive as the tournament goes on, ranging from �40 to �82 ($70 - $135) for the center court and a bit less for the others. That's a whole lot cheaper than the $25,000 Wimbledon cruise package we were eyeing a while back.

The bonus is you can now be guaranteed a good day on Centre Court no matter what the unreliable English weather does, because their new retractable roof will be used for the first time this year. There's also a brand new Court 2 and a capacity of an extra 3,500 people a day across the whole comlpex, so more of us can catch that Wimbledon fever.
