Successful applicants will be notified from February 2012 onwards.
Please see below for information on the remaining ways to obtain tickets to The Championships in 2012.
Buying tickets on the day of play ('The Queue')
Approximately 500 tickets are reserved daily at the turnstiles for Days 1 to 9 for both Centre Court and No.2 Court and approximately 500 tickets are available for all 13 Days for No.1 Court. Several thousand Ground Admission tickets are available each day. This number will vary depending on the number of people already in the grounds, the number of courts in play and the weather.

Debentures
Debenture seat details are not available until late May each year. These are the only Wimbledon tickets that can be sold or gifted legally, all other tickets must be used by the original applicant.
Ticket Resale Kiosk
We make every effort to ensure that seat tickets which are no longer needed are made available
for resale to people already within the Grounds. Original ticket holders are requested to put their
unwanted tickets in special red boxes for collection by the Honorary Stewards or, if they wish to retain
them as souvenirs, to have the barcodes scanned on leaving the Grounds so that a new ticket may be generated.
The tickets are re-distributed at a nominal charge fromthe Ticket Resale kiosk inside the Grounds.
The entire proceeds will be donated to charity, including local charities, and the Services.
HSBC, the Official Bank of The Championships, Wimbledon, has generously agreed to donate
in 2012 a sum equal to the total amount raised by the ticket resale scheme.
(In 2011, the amount raised was £125,242 net of VAT.)
ThIS information is correct at the time of printing (FEBRUARY 2012).
