Wimbledon 2027 ballot now open – how to enter and what’s the chance of getting tickets

With more than 40,000 tennis fans allowed within the Wimbledon grounds each day there are multiple ways of getting hold of a ticket

The public ballot to apply for tickets to Wimbledon 2027 is now open and fans are clearly excited already about seeing world class tennis because within minutes of opening a queue was needed to stop the site from becoming overwhelmed. After Jannik Sinner’s successful title defence, Arthur Fery’s amazing run to the semi final and Naomi Osaka’s major upsets in 2026, it is no surprise there is plenty of interest to get a seat for next year.

With demand massively outweighing supply, entering the ballot is no guarantee of getting tickets to one of the biggest sporting events of the year. Nonetheless, there are thousands of tickets to be won, so it’s still well worth entering for Wimbledon 2027.

It’s estimated that around 1 in 10 applicants strike lucky, with those fortunate enough to be selected in the ballot being offered either a pair of tickets or two separate ones if a pair isn’t available.

How to enter the Wimbledon ballot for 2027

The public ballot for 2027 tickets officially opened today (Tuesday, September 1). You can throw your name into the hat HERE, which only takes a few minutes, and the deadline shuts at 11.59pm on Monday, September 14.

Tennis fans keen to try their luck must sign up for a myWimbledon account to enter the public ballot so get that sorted first. Ballot winners are selected randomly, with no preference given to early entries so don’t panic if you log on and find a queue to fill out your application.

Wimbledon ticket rules to make sure your booking isn’t cancelled

There are strict rules when you apply to the public ballot. Only one application per person and per household is allowed as a starting point.

You may only submit a single application using one myWimbledon account and one email address. Any duplicate applications submitted by the same person, from the same myWimbledon account, email address or household will be withdrawn from the ballot.

You must complete your application by providing the full and complete postal address of your permanent home address.

Except for the one ticket that you can transfer to your guest, you must use the tickets yourself – please do not apply for tickets as a gift or to sell. Tickets must not be sold, transferred or advertised for sale or transfer online or elsewhere. Any tickets advertised for sale or transfer will be void.

How much do Wimbledon tickets cost?

Ticket prices for Wimbledon 2027 have been confirmed. Centre Court seats start from £85 to £130 on the opening day of the tournament and then rise throughout the two weeks to between £255 and £400 for seats for the Women’s or Men’s finals.

Tickets for No.1 Court begin at £75 on the first day, rise to at least £180 by days nine and ten, and then drop back down to a starting price of £40 by the last day.

Tickets to No.2 Court and No.3 Court start at £60 on day one and rise up to £95 on day six.

Grounds passes, which give you entry to the grounds, unreserved seating or standing on outside courts (No.3 Court and Courts 4–18), and access to Henman Hill, will be priced at £35 for the first eight days of the tournament. They then reduce to £27 for the following three days, and £22 for the final three.

How to secure Wimbledon tickets on the day

If you’re an early bird and join the queue at Wimbledon Park, you could bag same-day tickets. Many enthusiasts camp overnight or arrive in the early hours of the morning to increase their chances of securing a spot on one of the show courts.

Queue tickets are typically available for the first 10 days of the Championships, with around 500 usually set aside for Centre Court, hundreds more for Court 1 and Court 2, and grounds passes up for grabs until the venue reaches full capacity. The allocation varies daily.

The 2027 tournament will take place from Monday, June 28 to Sunday, July 11.
