How to get into Wimbledon without overpaying
the Queue, a Grounds Pass and a £15 show court seat
Wimbledon 2026: 29 June to 12 July · nearest station Southfields, not Wimbledon
The cheapest ways in
- The Queue: the only way to buy on the day, at face value. Camp overnight for a show court, or arrive early for a Grounds Pass.
- A Grounds Pass, £33 to £21: the best value ticket. Outside courts, The Hill and the big screen. £33 for days 1 to 8, then £26, then £21.
- The Hill: any ticket, a Grounds Pass included, gets you on The Hill to watch Centre Court on the big screen. Inside the grounds so not free, but the closest thing.
- The afternoon resale, £10 to £15: returned show court seats resold to people already inside, from 3pm via the Wimbledon App. £15 Centre, £10 No.1, £10 No.2, to the Wimbledon Foundation.
- The Public Ballot: free to enter but for next year. Register on a free myWIMBLEDON account, the 2027 ballot opens in autumn 2026.
How the Queue works
It forms in Wimbledon Park, face value, one ticket per person, card only. You get a numbered, non-transferable Queue Card. You can queue for Centre, No.1 and No.2 Court only on the first ten days. For the final four days the Queue sells Grounds Passes only. Wristbands from 7.30am, sales from 9.45am, grounds open 10am.
Getting there
Get off at Southfields, not Wimbledon. It is the nearest station and a signed walk of about 15 minutes. Wimbledon station is further but better connected, with a shuttle bus on busy days. Do not drive, there is no parking.
The overpay routes to avoid
Hospitality and Debentures are the premium way in. Debentures are the only tickets that can be legally resold. Everything else is strictly non-transferable, so any tout or unofficial resale ticket is void at the gate.
