Tennis tickets for the Wimbledon Championships are some of the hardest tickets to secure in all of sports. They are in such high demand that they can be, for certain sessions, some of the most expensive tickets in all of sports as well. Tennis Travel Info is here to help you find exactly what you want, at the best value.

All England Club

There are only two ways of securing Wimbledon tickets directly from the All England Club (for those who aren’t members).  The first is entering a lottery held by the All England Club and guarantees absolutely nothing.  Obviously when planning an abroad vacation, this is not ideal.  The second is to become what is called a “Debenture Holder.”  The problem with these is that they are very expensive, require a five-year commitment and is a highly-competitive unto itself.   If you are lucky enough to win the lottery then that is the way to go, but for the rest of us, here are your other options.

Ticket resellers

Ticket Broker sites are a valid option for getting tickets, though we recommend doing your research and knowing what pricing should be before you buy. Also, while we've had very positive experiences with many ticketing platforms, which have built-in security safeguards, sourcing tickets from independent sellers via craigslist, etc. is a surefire way to wind up in London with a fake ticket.  We have purchased tickets ourselves through ViaGoGo, and we're usually able to find fair prices and last-minute availability. As always, the earlier you get your tickets the less stressful the whole process becomes.

Tour operators

While these trips are usually not for the budget-oriented (and not much about Wimbledon or London is especially budget-friendly), companies like Grand Slam Tennis Tours are devoted to crafting special travel experiences that include the best debenture seats, excellent accommodation, access to exclusive hospitality spaces, private dinners, grass-court tennis playing opportunities and local tourism. You also get benefit of making new friends on your tour, and the support of the tour staff while you're there. As far as costs, once you add up all the piece-meal parts of the trip you'll book yourself, you'll save yourself a lot of time and effort, get the security of knowing that everything will be taken care of, and you might even safe yourself some money going through a tennis travel specialist. 
We recommend Grand Slam Tennis Tours because we've traveled with them and we can speak towards the exceptionally high quality of the travel experience they offer.

Day of/box office tickets

The last option is buying tickets the day of the event.  However, this option is more for the traveler who is in London and decides last minute to try to attend the Wimbledon Championships.  The All England Club limits day of tickets to about 7,500 (1,500 for the ticketed stadiums, and 6,000 grounds passes).  This typically means that people line up for hours before the tennis starts in order to get tickets before they sell out. This is certainly a fun option, and often one that is best explored in youth, when camping out all night and turning a line into a party sounds like a great idea.
