quick psa - if anyone's in london and wants to get out of the smoke, or is in the midlands/north west and wants to go down there, get to virgin's website and book tickets, it's a tenner each way to more or less anywhere through until the end of august. i've grabbed there and back on opening day for £20 return, prob go and watch wimbledon
How do you just "go and watch Wimbledon"? Tickets are hard to get, no? This is of some concern to me, as i am indeed in London trying to get tickets to the grounds.
i went a few years ago so my info may be out of date,
what happens is a big queue forms outside the grounds in the morning and its first come first served. iirc i got there at about 8 am and comfortably got tickets. when it gets full they stop selling. some people turn up the night before and camp out.
centre court tickets are sold via ballot to members and idk how you'd get hold of one without a contact.
alternatively if you hang around late-ish people will be leaving and you'll get in to see some doubles.
