Can I get Wimbledon Tickets Last Minute or on the Day?

Yes, it is possible to get Wimbledon tickets at the last minute or even on the day. Your main options are Ticketmaster returns, the Wimbledon Queue, resale kiosks inside the Grounds, or debenture tickets for reserved Centre Court or No.1 Court seats.

Getting Wimbledon tickets at short notice can seem difficult, but it is still possible. Whether you are planning for the final few days of The Championships or looking on the morning of play, there are several routes to consider.

The best option depends on what matters most to you. Some people want the lowest-cost way in and are happy to queue. Others want reserved Centre Court or No.1 Court seats and are looking for a more direct route

Below, we explain the main ways to get Wimbledon tickets at the last minute or on the day.

Ticketmaster Returns and Resales

Unrequired tickets obtained through the Public Ballot can be returned to the AELTC for a refund. The AELTC will normally refund the full ticket price, as long as the tickets are returned at least 24 hours before the ticket date.

A limited number of tickets are made available by the AELTC on Ticketmaster just prior to the day's play.

These tickets are sold through Ticketmaster from 48 hours before the day of play. In addition, a small number of reserved tickets usually go on sale at 9am each morning for the following day’s play.

Tickets sold via Ticketmaster sell out within minutes of release, so you will need luck on your side.

The Wimbledon Queue

The Queue remains one of the best-known ways to get Wimbledon tickets at short notice.

A limited number of Centre Court, No.1 Court and No.2 Court tickets are made available each day, except for the last four days on Centre Court. Members of the public who are prepared to queue have a chance to buy reserved seats for these courts.

In addition, a few thousand Ground Passes are sold each day to members of the public in the Queue. Ground Passes provide access to Courts 3 to 19, excluding Court 13, where there is unreserved seating and standing room.

Tickets are sold strictly on a one per person basis. Credit cards are now the only accepted forms of payment.

Demand for tickets in the Queue is extremely high. You will probably need to camp overnight to have a realistic chance of securing a show court ticket. Even if you are aiming for a Ground Pass, it is advisable to arrive a few hours before the Grounds open at 10.00am. The security gates for the Queue usually open at around 9.15am.

Returned Tickets Inside the Grounds

If you are already inside the Grounds, you may be able to buy returned show court tickets later in the day through Wimbledon’s official resale process.

Tournament attendees are asked to return their tickets when exiting the Grounds, if they do not intend to return.

From 3pm each day, Ground Pass holders may be able to buy returned show court tickets, subject to availability.

These returned tickets are then sold through the Resale Kiosk.

The Resale Kiosk is located north of Court No.18, near the top of St Mary’s Walk.

This can be a good option for people who are already on site and willing to wait and see what becomes available. The drawback is that you need to be inside the Grounds first, and there is no certainty over which courts or seats may become available.

Wimbledon debenture tickets

If you want reserved Centre Court or No.1 Court seats at short notice, debenture tickets are usually the most direct route.

Debenture tickets are the only Wimbledon tickets that can be legally transferred and resold. They offer reserved seats on Wimbledon’s two main show courts and, because they are transferred digitally through the official myWimbledon app, last-minute buying is simpler than it used to be.

This makes debenture tickets a strong option for buyers who want:'

• reserved Centre Court or No.1 Court seats
• exact seat locations
• a faster and more certain route than queuing
• the option to buy instantly or negotiate

Through Green & Purple, buyers can browse available debenture tickets, choose exact seats, buy instantly or make an offer to verified debenture holders, all in one secure marketplace.

Which Last-Minute Option Is Best?

The right route depends on what kind of Wimbledon experience you want.

If your main priority is price, the Queue or a Grounds Pass may be the best option.

If you are already inside the Grounds, returned tickets can be worth checking later in the day.

If you want reserved Centre Court or No.1 Court seats and do not want to depend on queuing or luck, debenture tickets are usually the most direct option.
