Conditions of Entry for the Wimbledon Championships

With more tennis fans attending Wimbledon than ever before, there are various rules in place to ensure the safety of spectators, players and staff. Visitors are asked to observe these rules to avoid being refused admission, or being asked to leave the Grounds.

We explain the conditions of entry to the Wimbledon Tournament Grounds.

Tickets

The All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) has now stopped issuing paper tickets to the Wimbledon Championships. From 2021, tennis fans attending the Tournament will be issued a mobile e-ticket instead.

To receive your ticket you will first need to download the myWimbledon App.

You will need to present your e-ticket on entering and exiting the Grounds. You might also be asked to show your ticket to a Wimbledon Steward once inside the Grounds.

Conduct

The AELTC may refuse entry to any individual participating in anti-social, dangerous or abusive behaviour, that could cause damage, harm or offence.

Visitors are asked not to distribute any goods for sale, or any printed literature that display marketing or political messages.

The AELTC can also refuse entry to anyone who appears to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
