Wimbledon 2026 last-minute tickets for next week’s championships

Tickets are officially sold out but there are still ways to secure your seat on Centre court

For tennis enthusiasts, the start of Summer means one thing – Wimbledon. This year, the Championships return to London on Monday, June 29, with the fortnight of world-class action scheduled to end on Sunday, July 12.

The excitement has been further heightened by the announcement that Serena Williams will be returning to Wimbledon as a women’s singles wildcard entry, four years after she was knocked out in the first round during her last appearance at SW19.

As is customary, tickets made available through the official public ballot were snapped up swiftly when released earlier this year, leaving precious little availability through conventional channels. Nevertheless, there remains a chance to secure last-minute hospitality tickets through Seat Unique.

Seat Unique, an official vendor for VIP and hospitality packages, currently has tickets on offer across the duration of the tournament, reports the Mirror – but they’re not cheap.

Prices typically start at around £2,000 per person and can climb to approximately £10,000, depending on the day and package selected.

Packages vary, but may include premium court views, debenture access, and entry to debenture facilities, with food and drink available to purchase. Certain listings also offer debenture seating in specific areas, such as the middle tier of Court No.1. Full details and availability can be found via Seat Unique.

Seat Unique has confirmed it has ‘limited availability’ at the time of writing, though tennis enthusiasts can still get their hands on seats for both Court No. 1 and Centre Court from the opening day.

Centre Court tickets are priced from £3,925 per ticket on day one, while Court No. 1 seats start from £2,175. The Centre Court VIP Debenture package, available at £3,925 per ticket, promises an unrivalled view of the court along with exclusive access to the Debenture facilities on the day. Equally, those who prefer Court No.1 can snap up a VIP Debenture ticket for £2,175, which includes Debenture seating within the middle tier of the court.

It is worth noting, however, that food and drinks are not included in the ticket price and must be purchased separately on the day. Fans are also encouraged to keep an eye on Wimbledon’s official ticketing page for any updates.

The Wimbledon Public Ballot for The Championships 2026 is currently listed as closed, although additional tickets may occasionally become available should returns be processed or further inventory released. Another option worth exploring is the Keith Prowse hospitality site, which also offers Wimbledon hospitality packages, though it warns that ‘Wimbledon 2026 hospitality is already now 90% sold out’.

It is worth noting that Wimbledon coverage is also available to watch live on the BBC across BBC One, BBC Two and iPlayer.

Wimbledon 2025 delivered no shortage of drama, with Jannik Sinner claiming the men’s singles trophy after defeating Carlos Alcaraz in four sets. In the women’s singles, Poland’s Iga Swiatek took the title, beating American Amanda Anisimova in the final.

Seat Unique offers official VIP tickets and hospitality access to a wide range of popular live events, from concerts and football matches to horse racing and cricket, including Champions League fixtures. One Trustpilot review awarded the company a five-star rating, stating: “Booking Wimbledon debentures was pretty seamless. They contacted me a week before to transfer the tickets into the MyWimbledon account, they appeared on the Wimbledon App, all with no problems.”

However, another reviewer commented: “Booking system is fine but customer service is patronising and slow. Not the greatest VIP experience”.

While a further five-star review sang the praises of the customer service team regarding a Wimbledon ticket purchase, reading: “This is a follow up to an initially frustrating experience in a significant purchase for Wimbledon tickets for July, 2023. After sharing my frustration, I immediately received a response from Seat Unique both via email and telephone with the details I was requesting as well as an easy way to contact a designated person to answer any other outstanding questions.”

It added: “I do not have the tickets in hand due to the nature of the event, but we are excitedly awaiting, and Seat Unique did a great job of responding to allay my concerns. Appreciate the quality customer service.”
