Hey everyone!! I know this is a bit different to my usual travel content but I learned SO much from my first ever Wimbledon experience this week that I decided to put this guide together for anyone planning on attending this year or in the future. I hope you find it helpful!!!

Thank you for sharing. What an experience. I'm a fanatic when it comes to tennis. Every year I try to catch all the tournaments on the tennis channel or on my phone. But Im sure its nothing like the real thing. Having a real experience is definitely on my bucket list.🙂

It was such a wonderful experience! I hope you get a chance to enjoy it soon 🫶

I am a regular at Wimbledon. This is simply too good….the amount of effort you must have taken to script this is really admirable….very comprehensive…you hardly missed anything. Start to finish…all key things addressed one by one in a smooth flow. Kudos❤

I took part once in this ticket ballot! I got ticket for CC, watching Federer, Djokovic, Muguruza! I was this lucky! ❤ Still remember this day! ❤ PS You watched Dimi? You were lucky too, he is my boy. I watched him on the outside courts, took a picture with him as well.

Wow that’s an amazing ballot draw! You must have been so excited. And yes we saw Dimi in his first match of the tournament! He was incredible 👏

This was a very helpful video, thanks. I’m a huge tennis fan (women and men). I love when Coco Gauff, an American, won her 1st Grand Slam title at 19 years old at the US Open last year (2023). Wimbledon is another Grand Slam that I’d LOVE to attend one year along with the other 3 Grand Slams. The Wimbledon queue actually looks fun and I’m glad you got a No. 2 court ticket even though you only arrived the night before. Some people arrive to queue 2-3 days before so watching your video made me realize that you don't have to arrive very early to get a ticket.

Hi.😃I just wanted to understand. At what time is it possible to start getting into the virtual resale line?

@yaowsers77 24 күн бұрын

Haha fun story: my eye doctor was about to squeeze me in due to an emergency and wanted to see me before i went to London so he could place his order😂. When i asked him if he decided, he asked for a seat from Wimbledon. I told him it's not going to fit in my carry on so he's out of luck. He's a funny guy! I did find out his favorite treat and bought him and his staff a lot from London and he was so happy. Haha his jaw actually dropped.

Any idea, after first 1500, how many more grounds passes are available?

@HappytoWander 18 күн бұрын

I think within the first 10,000 you’re almost guaranteed a grounds pass!! And they often let more people in beyond that but it’ll depend on the day. I’ve heard reports now of people coming at noon and walking straight in since the second week is less competitive! Best of luck :)
