How to get tickets for Wimbledon 2021 – 4 ways explained


The most distinguished event on the tennis calendar will be returning in the summer of 2021. Much has changed since the tournament was last held in 2019, including the likelihood of a reduced capacity crowd. So how do you get to walk the famous grounds of the All England Lawn Tennis Club at Wimbledon 2021?

Since its inaugural iteration in 1877, Wimbledon has grown in popularity and recognition to be synonymous with tennis itself, and is the tournament in the forefront of anyone who knows even the first thing about the sport. It is a favourite among fans and players alike.

The intimate, luxurious atmosphere of the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) contributes to this popularity in no small way, surrounded by the Wimbledon district of South West London in postcode SW19. Fans navigate the grounds by weaving in and out of the smaller outside courts and practice courts, at times mere metres from their favourite players.

The two show courts of Centre Court and No. 1 Court are iconic in their own right, both now fitted with retractable roofs so that, when it inevitably rains, play can continue relatively uninterrupted.

Wimbledon Centre Court But how do you get a ticket to Wimbledon for the 2021 Championships? Given the ongoing pandemic, much has changed in how the Championships will be ticketed and staged.

Those who had a ticket through the ballot for 2020 were previously told they had an option for this year. Instead, those individuals can buy a ticket for the same day and court in 2022.

The public ballot that is normally run by the AELTC will not be held in 2021, neither will the LTA ballot or local tennis club ballots. The tournament will also be without its famous queue, and there will be no resale of tickets on the grounds.

Here, Tennishead explains the 4 ways that you can secure yourself a ticket for 2021:
