Emma- The ballot everybody can try to get a ticket before it starts. The deadline for overseas to send in is in december.
Andy plays centrecourt.
If you are in the lineup you would need to sleep there in a tent to get a centrecourt or court 1 ticket. It is about 1000 tickets for centrecourt everyday.
I wish I knew some of the sponsors there, then more easy to get tickets. Next year maybe easier also as I can get tickets from my sons tennis club.
I got free tickets this year in WTF, because I know the sponsor. But Wimbledon is sooooo much better than WTF. Not comparable.
When you are at Wimbledon you feel that you are in the centre of the world or something. So many happy memories from there.
Next year I am pretty tied up with a couple of things so it's highly unlikely. I do like the fact that Centre Court now has a roof because otherwise no point spending all night out in a tent only to find out plays have been suspended. So it's at least a sure thing if you have tickets for CC. It's been a while I'd been to London as well. I used to date a British guy and went there a couple of times but that's at least 6/7 years ago. Also, I didn't get to browse as much so if I do go to W, I can get a number of things done. 2015 should really be my year of true freedom when I'll get to travel a lot!
Thanks Embla for all the information. Will come handy in time.
