Show courts
The main show court and the only place the singles finals are played — debenture or ballot tickets only.
The second-largest court (~12,345) with its own retractable roof, so play rarely stops for rain.
Gets you onto the outside courts (Nos. 3-18) and Henman Hill, but not Centre or No. 1 Court.
Insider tips
- Centre and No. 1 Court tickets are mainly allocated by the public ballot or sold by debenture holders, so plan months ahead.
- A grounds pass plus The Queue is the cheapest way in; early outside-court matches often feature top seeds.
