About the Public Ballot

The Wimbledon Public Ballot, first launched in 1924, is intended to be the fairest means of obtaining tickets for The Championships.

Entry into the Ballot does not automatically entitle applicants to tickets, but to a place in the draw. It is not possible to request tickets for specific days or courts, as the day and court offered are chosen randomly by a computerised selection process.

The Wimbledon Public Ballot is a random draw so there is no guarantee that your application will be successful; but, we believe that every applicant should have an equal chance of success.

Please read and follow our instructions carefully to maximise your chance of success before you complete your application:

- Submit only one application for a maximum of two tickets per myWIMBLEDON account, per email address or per household.

- In relation to the latter, your application will be invalid if a member of your household (e.g husband, wife, partner or another member of the family) applies individually from the same address.

- Apply only from your permanent residential address – where you are registered on the Electoral Roll. Your application will be invalid if you apply from a student/ temporary address or your holiday home or your business address.

- Except for the one ticket that you can transfer to your guest, you must use the tickets yourself – please do not apply for tickets as a gift or to sell.

- Tickets must not be sold, transferred or advertised for sale or transfer whether online or elsewhere. Any tickets advertised for sale or transfer will be void.

- Subject to AELTC’s policies, anyone found to be in breach of these rules may not be eligible to apply for or receive tickets distributed under the  Conditions of Sale.

Please note, signing up to myWIMBLEDON does not gain entry into the Wimbledon Public Ballot; you will need to apply when the application phase opens.
