July 1st 2024.
It's that time of year again – Wimbledon 2024 has officially begun! Fans from all corners of the globe are flocking to the prestigious tennis tournament, eager to witness the world's top athletes compete for the ultimate prize over the next two weeks.
Among the star-studded lineup are reigning champion Carlos Alcaraz, the legendary Novak Djokovic, and hometown favorites Andy Murray and Emma Raducanu. With this being the 137th edition of the competition, it's no surprise that over half a million fans are expected to gather at SW19 for the event – and you could be one of them!
While the public ballot for Wimbledon has already closed, there are still ways to snag last-minute tickets. But first, let's go over the daily schedule. As mentioned, Wimbledon started on Monday, July 1st and will conclude on Sunday, July 14th with the Men's Singles final, followed by the Women's Singles final the day before. The Grounds open at 10am each day, with outside court matches starting at 11am and No.1 Court matches at 1pm. The highly-anticipated Centre Court matches, on the other hand, begin at 1:30pm – except for finals weekend when they start at 2pm.
For fans hoping to catch a glimpse of Andy Murray, this will be his final Wimbledon. But don't despair, there are still ways to secure tickets for this historic event.
The public ballot may have closed back in December, but there are still three options for getting your hands on tickets: The Queue, the resale scheme, and hospitality packages.
The Queue is a beloved Wimbledon tradition where fans line up outside the grounds to purchase tickets on the day of the event. Show Court and Grounds tickets are sold on a first-come-first-served basis, with only 500 tickets available for Centre Court, No.1 Court, and No.2 Court each day. Show Court tickets start at £50 and increase in price as the tournament progresses, while Grounds tickets start at £30 and decrease in price during the second week. The Queue began on Sunday morning, the day before the tournament officially started. However, Wimbledon may advise fans not to join the line if it becomes too long, so be on the lookout for any announcements.
Another option is the resale scheme, where fans with Grounds tickets can try their luck at purchasing returned Show Court tickets after 3pm. The Ticket Resale Kiosk can be found north of Court 18, adjacent to The Hill, and tickets typically cost between £10-£15.
For those willing to splurge, hospitality packages are also available, offering the best seats in the house, along with food and entertainment.
So whether you're hoping to witness history in the making on Centre Court or simply looking to soak up the atmosphere on the Grounds, there's still a chance to be a part of the action at Wimbledon 2024.
