How to get Returned Tickets at the Wimbledon Resale Kiosk

If you were unsuccessful in the Public Ballot and do not want to join The Queue for a Show Court ticket, there may still be a chance to watch tennis on Centre Court, No.1 Court or No.2 Court.

Returned Show Court tickets can be purchased through the Ticket Resale Kiosk, subject to availability. This option is for guests who are already inside the Grounds, including those who have entered with a Grounds Pass.

What are returned tickets?

Returned tickets are Show Court tickets made available when ticket holders leave the Grounds and do not intend to return later the same day.

If a ticket holder is happy for their ticket to be resold, they can have their ticket scanned when leaving the Grounds. The ticket may then be made available for resale to another guest inside the Grounds.

All proceeds net of VAT go to the Wimbledon Foundation.

Where is the Wimbledon Ticket Resale Kiosk?

The Ticket Resale Kiosk is located in Parkside, adjacent to No.1 Court.

This is different from the historic location north of Court 18, so check the Wimbledon App or ask a steward if you are unsure where to go.

How does the Ticket Resale queue work?

Queueing for Ticket Resale is now delivered virtually through the Wimbledon App.

To join the virtual queue, go to the Ticket Resale Kiosk in Parkside. If you have arrived via The Queue, you can also register in the Queue Village.

A steward will scan your myWimbledon QR code in the Wimbledon App. You can then complete the form to enter the resale queue.

Once you have joined the virtual queue, you are free to enjoy the Grounds while you wait. You can view your progress in the Wimbledon App.

When it is your turn to buy tickets, you will receive an SMS message. You must then return to Ticket Resale in Parkside within the timeframe shown.

What time does Ticket Resale open?

Registration for the virtual Ticket Resale queue is available at the following times:

• Queue Village: 8.30am to 2.30pm
• Parkside: 10.00am to 2.30pm

Ticket sales run from 3.00pm to 9.00pm, subject to availability.

How much do returned tickets cost?

For 2026, returned Show Court tickets cost:

• Centre Court: £15
• No.1 Court: £10
• No.2 Court: £10

All proceeds net of VAT go to the Wimbledon Foundation.

Can anyone buy a returned ticket?

Returned Show Court tickets are for guests who are already inside the Grounds.

Ticket holders with a Grounds Pass may purchase returned Show Court tickets through Ticket Resale, subject to availability. You cannot use Ticket Resale unless you have already entered the Grounds.

Will I definitely get a returned ticket?

No. Returned tickets are subject to availability.

Availability depends on how many Show Court ticket holders leave the Grounds and make their tickets available for resale. Demand can be high, so joining the virtual queue does not guarantee that you will be able to buy a ticket.

Can I buy a single returned ticket?

Returned tickets may become available as singles or pairs, depending on what is handed back by departing ticket holders.

If you are attending alone, Ticket Resale may be worth checking. Single tickets may become available, but availability is never guaranteed.

Do I need the Wimbledon App?

Yes. The virtual queue uses the Wimbledon App and your myWimbledon QR code.

You should download the Wimbledon App, sign in to your myWimbledon account and make sure your phone is charged before you try to join the Ticket Resale queue.
