Are tickets sold by match or by day?
Tickets are sold according to session and the stadium they grant access to. Days in which the qualifying rounds are being played (Friday 3rd – Sunday 5th May) and the day of the final (12th May) will be treated as a single session. From Monday (6th May) to Saturday (11th May) there will be a day and a night session. As a result, if for example you want to see all the Centre Court matches on Thursday 9th May, you will need to purchase both a day and a night ticket.
Does the same ticket gain me entry into all the courts?
No, there are three types of tickets which grant different access.
1. Centre Court, Manolo Santana Stadium
Buying a ticket for the Centre Court (the Manolo Santana Stadium) will grant you access to the Centre Court, as well as Stadium 2 and the rest of the courts. However, on Tuesday 7th, Wednesday 8th and Thursday 9th May to access Stadium 2 a specific ticket will be required.
2. Stadium 2, the Arantxa Sánchez-Vicario Stadium
You can access this stadium using a Centre Court ticket or a Ground ticket, except on Tuesday 7th, Wednesday 8th and Thursday 9th May. For those three days specific tickets for Stadium 2 will be sold and space is limited. For all other days of the tournament, access will work on a first come first serve basis.
3. Ground Tickets
Ground tickets grant access to Stadium 2 and the rest of the courts (excluding the Centre Court), expect on Tuesday 7th, Wednesday 8th and Thursday 9th May, when they will only grant access to Stadium 3 and the outdoor courts.
Are the tickets sent by mail?
For security reasons tickets are not sent by mail.
How can I purchase tickets without having to travel?
Thanks to the “PRINT AT HOME” service you can print the original version of your tickets without needing to collect them elsewhere. All you need to do is select this option at the point of purchase and, once the transaction is complete, you will receive an email with your tickets attached in pdf format. For more information about this service,click here.
Do I need to bring a form of identification to collect the tickets?
To collect the tickets, it is essential that you bring your ID or passport. If the person who comes to collect the tickets is not the person who made the purchase (i.e. the same person whose information has been used at the point of purchase; bare in mind that the person who makes the transaction does not necessarily have to be the ticket holder) they must bring an authorized and signed photocopy of the purchasers ID or passport. Important: Tickets will not be issued if these requirements are not met.
