This year, Wimbledon set new attendance records, with a massive 550,151 people entering through its gates. Next year that could be you, as the first wave of tickets for Wimbledon 2027 are now on sale.
Every year the tennis tournament pulls in its hundreds of thousands of visitors by means of a public ballot, via the famous queue, or through its third method – hospitality.
These hospitality tickets come with a hefty price tag but give you the advantage of a guaranteed seat, plus extra perks like bespoke food, drink and even meetings with tennis legends.
Every year, we cover the hospitality packages on offer at Wimbledon, from the Debenture seats on Centre Court, to the informal DJ-led Treehouse seats, to the food heaven in Rosewater Pavilion, and we can safely say they’re always a popular choice.
So, with that in mind, here’s how you can get early tickets to next year’s tournament.

How to get standard entry tickets to Wimbledon 2027
The ballot
The public ballot has been a tradition since 1924 and is the most common way of getting tickets to Wimbledon. How it works is: each year the ballot opens for a limited time in September during which you send off an application. Going in the ballot does not guarantee you tickets and it is not possible to request tickets for specific days or courts.
Once the ballot has closed, spots will be randomly assigned and you’ll find out if you’ve been lucky enough to get tickets in February. You can only buy up to two tickets per household and once you receive your offer you’ll need to pay immediately and in full to secure a place, however, you can also choose to let the tickets go.
The Queue
The Queue is a famous part of the Wimbledon tradition where tennis fans try to get tickets on the day of play. Each day, a large Queue forms to buy either a Show Court ticket (which are much more limited) or a Grounds ticket. Tickets are sold on a first-come-first-served, one ticket per person basis and are non-transferable.
The Queue starts in Wimbledon Park from the Sunday before the tournament starts. Over the years, the event has become a sort of mini festival, with people bringing tents and food as they wait for around 40 hours to get to the front. It’s a polite and sociable event, and well-worth trying if you’ve never been to Wimbledon before.
When does the Wimbledon 2027 ballot open?
This year’s Wimbledon ballot opens in autumn, although you can get ready by making a LTA account now.
