Frequently Asked Questions

What are Wimbledon Debenture tickets?

The All England Lawn Tennis Club issues Centre Court and No.1 Court Wimbledon Debentures to raise funds for capital expenditure. For example the construction work on the Centre Court & No.1 Court retractable roofs have been financed this way. The Debenture seats are situated in the best locations on both courts and offers the finest views. There is no restriction in buying and selling Wimbledon Debenture tickets, unlike Wimbledon public ballot tickets which are non-transferable. A series of Centre Court 'Debentures' are issued every five years by the AELTC. In return for a nominal loan and a premium, Wimbledon Debenture Holders are entitled to an excellent seat on Centre Court (currently in the first 14 rows of the elevated stand around the Centre Court), or No.1 Court for each day of the Championships, for 5 years (the duration of the series).

Will our seats be together?

Most of the Debenture tickets issued by the All England Club are issued in pairs. For instance if you order 4 tickets then expect them to be supplied as two pairs, although we will attempt to allocate the tickets in the same area. We do have a limited supply of larger groups including ‘odd’ numbers (such as 3 together) of Debenture tickets, which are available for purchase for a surcharge, kindly call us today on 01432 263 263 to discuss your options.

When and how will I receive my tickets?

Subject to receipt of payment we will endeavour to send your Wimbledon Debenture tickets no later than 7-10 days prior to the day you are attending Wimbledon. Your debenture tickets will be sent out to you by guaranteed post and will need to be signed for upon delivery. For international customers we prefer to arrange a collection-point close to the All England Club, although we can supply ticket numbers in advance of your travel.

How can I choose my Debenture seats?

Wimbledon Debenture Holders do not purchase rights to specific seats in Centre Court or No.1 Court, they have only purchased the ‘right’ to be guaranteed seats within the preferential Debenture area (for instance on Centre Court this will be within the first 14 rows of the elevated stand). As such Wimbledon Debenture Holders only discover their exact seat numbers when they receive their tickets in late May/early June. We therefore cannot guarantee in advance exact seat locations. You can however request certain blocks and, due to the volume of tickets that we handle, we will endeavour to satisfy your specific request, kindly call us on 01432 263 263 to secure your seats.

What time does play start?

Up until Finals’ weekend play is scheduled to start at 1pm on Centre Court and No.1 Court. Both Mens and Ladies Finals are scheduled to start at 2pm. Play starts on the outside courts from 11.30am. The grounds of Wimbledon open from 10.30am daily.

What if it rains?

Both Centre Court and No.1 Court have retractable roofs so if it does rain play will be halted shortly whilst the roof is closed. Once this has been done play will continue on court.
