Wimbledon Tickets 2023 Ballot Results
The All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) runs an annual public ballot that gives tennis fans a chance to secure seats for the Championships, including the prestigious Centre Court and No. 1 Court. For the 2023 edition, the ballot opened in September 2022 and closed later that month, with successful applicants notified in October 2022. This article outlines how the ballot works, what the 2023 results showed, and what options remain for those who were not successful.
How the Wimbledon Ballot Operates
Each year, the AELTC allocates a limited number of tickets to the general public through a random draw. Applicants can request up to two tickets per match, specifying preferred courts and days. The ballot is open to UK residents and, for certain matches, to international fans via the official Wimbledon website. Successful entrants are chosen purely by chance; there is no priority based on past applications or purchase history.
Key points about the process:
- The ballot typically opens in early September for the following year’s Championships.
- Applications close at the end of September.
- Results are emailed to all applicants, usually within a few weeks of the closing date.
- Successful applicants receive a payment link and must complete purchase within a set deadline to confirm their tickets.
Outcome of the 2023 Ballot
For the 2023 Championships, the AELTC reported that approximately 12 % of all ballot applications resulted in a ticket offer. This figure align
