Unsurprisingly, tickets for the third grand slam of the year are always in short supply, especially during the final weekend.
Wimbledon 2023 final dates and schedule
The women’s singles final of the 2023 Wimbledon event will take place on Saturday, July 15. Meanwhile, the men’s singles final will take place just a day later, on the closing Sunday of Wimbledon. Both the finals are set to begin at 2 p.m. local time (9 a.m. ET) and are subject to changes. Ever since the organizers added a roof to the Centre Court in 2009, the event of the finals being delayed is rare despite the unreliable British weather.
Wimbledon 2023 final how to buy tickets
As we get closer to finals, it gets more difficult for fans to get their hands on the tickets. This is because on the morning of the final, Wimbledon’s official site offers only a very limited number of tickets. These tickets are distributed through mobile apps on both iOS and Android. Aside from the official site, fans can also purchase the tickets through resale sights like Viagogo and Stubhub. Amex, which is one of the tournament’s commercial partners, will also offer last-minute tickets. Wimbledon page and social media channels will post updates on the availability of tickets.
Wimbledon final tickets prices
The official individual tickets for Wimbledon 2023 start at ยฃ255 ($331), or ยฃ230 ($299) for the back six rows of Centre Court. Fans looking to pay more for extra services can do so via a hospitality package.
This year again, Keith Prowse is the official hospitality partner to the tournament after initially starting out in 1982. Keith Prowse is also the exclusive championship partner since 2019. The company revealed that fans can buy packages in advance or during the tournament depending on availability.
Currently, the most expensive hospitality option, which is the Centre Court skyview suites cost over ยฃ1,720 ($2,096) per person. This package comes with an a la carte four-course meal, chauffeur, and concierge service. However, these tickets are currently sold out.
Several resale sites are currently advertising such tickets at considerably higher prices. For example, Viagogo currently shows hospitality tickets for the women’s final between ยฃ2,950 ($3,831) and ยฃ5,900 ($7,662). Meanwhile, the tickets for the men’s, start at ยฃ10,043 ($13,043) and go to ยฃ14,160 ($18,390). Another similar site, Stubhub, shows prices starting at ยฃ4,217 ($5,477) for the women’s final and ยฃ10,242 ($13,301) for the men’s.
Wimbledon queue system
Unlike many other major sports tournaments worldwide, Wimbledon offers a very unique queue system where a small amount of tickets are reserved for fans that choose to queue on the day of the game. The organizers save up around 500 tickets for Centre Court, Court No.1 and Court No.2 per day. This is apart from the final four days of the tournament.
Fans can also purchase a grounds pass to enter the All England Club during the final two days. Fans can use these entries to watch the finals from the big screen on the hill just outside Centre Court. This year, the grounds passes cost ยฃ15 ($18) on the day of the women’s final and ยฃ8 ($10) on men’s final day.
According to the official Wimbledon website, fans should start joining the queue just a few hours before the grounds open at 9.30 local time each morning. However, fans often start lining up in the early hours. The organizers will start allocating wristbands for the successful fans starting at around 7.30 a.m. local time each day.
