How To Get Tickets To Wimbledon 2011

June 7, 2011 at 2:55 PM | by | Comments (0)

The Public Ballot for Wimbledon 2011 tickets closed months ago, which is fine with fans who would rather camp out for seats anyway. Once again this year, tennis fans will be be joining The Queue to try to score one of the last minute tickets Wimbledon releases each day.

Around 500 tickets are made available at the turnstiles daily for the No. 1 Court, and for days 1 through 9 for both the Centre Court and No.2 Court. There will also be a few thousand Ground Admission tickets available each day. This year, ticket prices range from £5 for ground seats to £74 for No.1 Court seats.

There is a single queue at Gate 3, starting in Wimbledon Park, parking lot 10. All tickets are on a first-come first-served basis so if you plan to queue for Show Court tickets, you will need to camp out the night before. If you are just looking for ground passes, you will still need to get there several hours before the grounds open at 9:30 a.m.

Though it sounds like a drag to arrive the night before for tickets, that may or may not be available, the park does everything possible to make sure campers are comfortable. They have installed industrial lighting and toilet facilities around the camping area and even offer catering. You don't have to worry about oversleeping either, as stewards provide everyone with a 6:30 a.m. wake up call.

All of this hospitality has made queuing up an annual tradition for tennis fanatics who look forward to hanging out with friends (and making new ones) while waiting for the main event.
