Wimbledon 2023 has come to a thrilling conclusion, and many tennis fans will already be thinking about heading to SW19 for the 2024 tournament.

The Championships in 2024 will take place from July 1-14, and the Wimbledon public ballot will open in September 2023. Fans whose names are successfully drawn in the ballot will find out via email and can expect to have the opportunity to buy tickets around October 2023.

The ballot first launched in 1924 and gives everyone an equal opportunity to buy tickets for Wimbledon, with its website saying: “All applications are entered into a draw and successful applicants are chosen at random. Entering the ballot does not mean you are guaranteed tickets and it is also not possible to request tickets for specific days or courts.”

Fans can be among the first to hear about tickets for 2024 by signing up to myWimbledon. If you already have an account, ensure you have opted in to ticket communications.

How much are Wimbledon tickets?

Wimbledon tickets for Centre Court are cheaper earlier on during the tournament. Court tickets for 2023 were priced at £80 for the first two days of the championships, rising every two days, to £100, then £130, £155, £185, £220 and then £255. Tickets for the back six rows are priced slightly lower.

No. 1 Court ticket prices started at £75 on the first day and rose to £170 midway through the second week, then dropping to £80 and £45. Again, the back six rows are priced a little lower.

What about ground pass tickets?

Offering perhaps the ultimate Wimbledon experience, the grounds pass allows fans to access all courts including No. 3 Court, Court 12 and Court 18, as well as The Hill, where the action from Centre and No. 1 Courts is screened. Grounds passes for 2023 were priced at £27 and were reduced from day nine onwards as the Championships progressed.

The Queue

Wimbledon remains one of the very few major sporting events where you can buy premium tickets on the day of play. For many, The Queue at the Championships is as much a part of the Wimbledon experience as the tennis itself.

Each day, a large queue forms to buy either a ground ticket or one of the limited show court tickets available: 500 tickets for Centre Court (excluding the last four days), No. 1 Court and No. 2 Court are sold for each day the courts are in play.

Tickets in the queue are sold on a best available, one per person queuing basis and are non-transferable, with queuing often beginning the evening before and increasing early on the morning of play.

A grounds capacity limit is in place at Wimbledon, so once this is reached fans cannot enter until others leave the grounds for the day.
