The UK Government has confirmed plans to introduce legislation to limit the resale of standard event tickets above face value. These changes are designed to tackle large-scale touting across the wider live events industry.
Based on our initial research, we understand that Wimbledon debenture holders are expected to be exempt from these new rules. The Government’s consultation response recognises that debentures are a long-term investment and entitle holders to a distinct category of ticket. The consultation proposes a specific exemption for such schemes.

We are monitoring the legislative process closely. At this stage, the position outlined in the Government’s consultation is clear: Wimbledon debentures remain a unique and exempt category within the resale framework.
Media coverage of the ticket resale legislation:
It was an easy process
"I thought I'd send you a short note to thank you for dealing so efficiently with my Wimbledon debentures in 2021. It was an easy process to sell the days I didn't want to Green and Purple and payment was made promptly. I look forward to dealing with you again in the future."
