How to buy Wimbledon tickets as countdown to action at All-England Club begins with Jack Draper and Emma Raducanu bidding for glory

With Carlos Alcaraz winning at Queen's and Eastbourne taking place, preparations on both the men's and women's side of the draw are in full swing for Wimbledon. 

The Championships make their eagerly-anticipated return to SW19 on Monday, with Jack Draper and Emma Raducanu leading British hope of a first home winner since Andy Murray famously lifted his second title in 2016. 

As the tournament draws ever closer, tennis fans around the world are hoping to get their hands on last-minute tickets. 

But that can be a trickier task than it sounds given the demand for tickets is sky-high for the only grass-court Grand Slam of the year. 

However, it is not an impossible task and there are ways to secure one just days before the action begins. 

Read on below for all you need to know about how to get your hands on a last-minute ticket to Wimbledon. 

How to buy Wimbledon tickets 2025

Although the public ballot has passed for Wimbledon this year - which sees lucky winners able to claim tickets via a lottery - there are other open avenues when it comes to entering the gates of the hallowed All-England Club. 

Most notoriously, that is in the form of The Queue - where you can wait outside the grounds in the hope of gaining access to a day's play. 

Indeed, if you are extremely lucky, you may be able to snag one of the limited Centre Court passes that are on offer. 

For those who have more disposable income on hand, debentures are available but very few remain open to purchase this close to the beginning of the tournament.  

Seat Unique, Wimbledon Debenture Owners and the official Wimbledon website are currently the only places you can buy one.

Debenture seats are within walking distance of the All-England Club's most exclusive restaurants and bars. 

According to the Wimbledon website, there are 2,520 debenture seats on Centre Court and 1,250 on No.1 Court.
