Queuing at W'don

[Nigello]

Anyone queued for tickets for one-the-day matches at Wimbledon? Easier towards the beginning of the tournament (Monday 24th) than later? Any advice as to what time to get there?

I've done this in the past several times - last time was a fair few years ago though.

I tended to get there for 5am or 6am and get in one of the 2 queues (no idea if there is a difference they just seem to go up from the entrance either way up/down the road) the officials then come around with wristbands (at least did the last few years) for centre or court 1. Once they've gone, it's just a ground ticket you can get (and could queue up for people putting in their tickets as they leave which you can usually buy with money going to charity). You have to be there in person - i.e. you can't ask for 2 if you're on your own - so if you're going with anyone they need to be there with you in the queue.

I always used to go the first Weds or Thursday as you usually get to see some good names then.

Note - believe there are always some tickets the evening beforehand on Ticketmaster for the next day? Haven't ever bought them from there but worth a try?

Good luck!
