Wimbledon Tickets, London
 
Hi everyone

Does anyone know the average cost of the tickets for watching a game of Wimbledon in London?

I am planning a trip for UK aa stated in other post for june 2015.
Can these tickets be bought online?

Help appreciated

The Championships don't start till June 23.

The answer takes a few minutes to understand.

There are a number of options, depending on how important getting to see a late-stage match on Centre or No 1 Court is, compared with just seeing someone play. Read all of http://www.wimbledon.com/en_GB/ticke...561699698.html

The alternative to going into the Public Ballot is to queue up, but you have to be in line extremely early to get a ground ticket and even earlier to get a show court ticket. By early I mean the night before (many people camp out),or from about 6.00am that morning - this can mean getting accommodation in the Wimbledon area as early public transport is limited. You can get to see many top 20 players by going on the first Monday when many of the less popular seeds will be playing on outside (not show) courts. Just getting a ground ticket is a joy in itself as the atmosphere is electric.

In fact, next year, there's an important change to the previous years' schedule. Wimbledon 2015 will run from Monday 29 June to Sunday 12 July.

If you want to see quarter, semi or final games the prices are VERY high and must be bought far in advance. Don't know prices for next year - but a friend went 3 years ago and she said prices were shocking (compared to US) - but I think a lot was the poor value of the $.

If you are willing to see other matches obviously there are many more choices - but I would definitely get tickets as soon as your dates are final and tickets are available.
