http://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/wimbledon hasn't yet been updated for 2017....

and the free heat that will no doubt come from it :wink:

from the guy who did posted the deal in 2015. This year I'm playing it quiet as its such a random process

It's been posted every year and the Ticketmaster link is posted on every national newspaper and website in the country so it's hardly a secret!

Want to keep the tradition going tbh.

zzzzz, why did you have to do that.... :disappointed:

This years deal: http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/wimbledon-centre-court-no-3-court-tickets-from-41-00-booking-sale-9am-12pm-day-before-2729746

I have a mate who just showed it on his phone. But I would say better safe than sorry. Print a copy.

Thanks

If you manage to get tickets on ticketmaster, do you have to print out the confirmation or can you just show it on your phone (along with photo id and credit card)?

having said that they have just appeared on ticket master.....

The wimbledon ticket page on their site looks the same as it has for the last couple of years. they dont tend to update it or change the links into ticketmaster at all. The only thing I have seen is that the page on Wimbledon

I assume they're just being tardy as the tickets page on the Wimbledon site states daily Ticketmaster sales for Centre and No. 3 courts as in previous years

http://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/wimbledon hasn't yet been updated for 2017....

Still a bit early.
They'll sort it out before next weekend.

On the ticketmaster app, I can currently only find The Championships Qualifying, not the tournament itself. Do you know how I can find the event in the app? Or maybe it's too early? Thanks.

I can help you get tickets jdpwest, PM me

not even going to think about it (annoyed) (y)

I'm already reviewing the hints and tips from previous years. To be honest a few years ago there was some skill to it, now its pure luck. Having said that I went 4 times last year including the final so must be lucky :smile: will be glad with any days out this year as its a top day out.

Don't re-post this advert this year!
A little bit of selfishness is always good! :smile:

View from 519 row ZD :smiley:

:disappointed: bad luck ..... lets hope you get lucky at the start of next year , the first 2 days are around £50 a ticket. I was skint by the final but my dad wanted my mum to go so was "happy" to pay for today. Worth every penny too !

Crossing fingers for you for next year !

Just want to say now Wimbledon is over for another year :disappointed: well done for those who got tickets and for those who helped me get my tickets and I look forward to speaking to you next year when the battle starts again!

Also just to make me feel good I am going to the US open next year and it is so easy to get tickets go on website click day/days you want and buy makes me feel a bit better!

jdpwest i hope you enjoy the game.especially now that andy has a great chance of making it 2 wimbledon titles
i also thought you might be interested to know that i managed to find 1 ticket on friday for mens final.yes finally after 6 years of looking.but 186 was too expensive for me and i could not afford it.so had to let it go.but i have hope that next year i apply for day 1.thanks for your kind message.i hope you get to hug andy after the game

You must have got in early as they start allocating tickets at 501 and then go round to he 520's .

Never a bad seat in center court though

me too! which block did everyone get ?I have 502

No luck here. Hope you all have fab time. Come on Andy.

Wasnt going to try for final but my mum really wanted to go. Its been a random year for getting through captcha but one way or another this will be my 4th day out there this year. Lets just hope Andy wins now !

I managed to get one!

yes me 2 ! in block 519 ......

Went through captcha about 3 times before the 4th time it came up with 2......

Managed to get 2! Too excited!

Nope.... Did anyone get any?

Anyone get any?

Something **** up when I tried for final. Tickets came available at 09:59, but then they disappeared again.

Got these last year from ticketmaster - they were the furthest away crappy seats, BUT STILL WORTH IT! :smile:

eivind happy to pair up send me a pm please x

what an anticlimax

As it's looking unlikely mind PMing how you get through 75% of the time? Gutted for Rodger such a shame would have loved a Murray v Federer final.

im interested too also cant send pm ! do let me know

Yes I'm up for it
Can't send a pm though

.

I suspect either:

1) One means the server dumped your search, whereas the other means it performed the search and found nothing.
2) If you are searching for a pair of tickets, perhaps their are single tickets available (or vice versa) when you get the first message.

Anyone noticed this:

When you search for tickets, you get on of two messages:

1. Sorry, no tickets match your search.
You can try changing quantity or ticket type, or you can explore one of the options below.

2. Sorry, no tickets from venue currently...
Many fans are shopping and some may have let their tickets go. You can try again, or you can explore one of the options below.

Does the latter mean there are still tickets out there? :smiley:

hahahah i wrongly assumed you were in the Uk - apologies :-)

I would to - if i lived in London. But I live in Norway, so its very expensive to go just for one match :wink:

feel your pain - i would always take mens qf,sf or final if given chance esp with Andy playing - but there is still tomorrow and you have done very well getting them before.

today was a very long shot as there would be hardly any returns at all for this....the womens returns are much easier to get as shown by lots being abvailable yesterday for the womens final tomorrow

its a total luck chance if you get the captcha or not....hope we dont get it tomorrow

So disappointed. Got tickets for mens semi, but didn't buy - was hoping for mens final :disappointed:

Gave up about 10 mins ago.....called Wimbledon ticket office and they were cagey on how many getting released tomorrow - said 200/300 but she sounded clueless....

Are you guys still trying for tickets?

Also worth taking your own food/drinks.

Popping in and out for the loo is feasible, but to grab food/drink will mean you miss quite a bit of tennis. Especially if you're in the upper levels, the first time we went we were near the top and missed the start of the next match trying to go grab some food.

Thanks for the tips, I actually like 20 minutes walk away, doesn't help with tickets though (says the guy who just got really lucky!)

return seats are already allocated. when you arrive you will be given an envelope with your name on it. just go to gate 4 with a printout of the confirmation email, the credit card you used to make the purchase and your id

you should budget 15-20 minutes from arriving at gate 4 to reaching your seats at centre court.

pro tip. go to wimbledon park tube station and take an uber to 7 church road. will save you 10-15 minutes of transit time and you will beat the rush....

Looks like tomorrow at 9am is last chance saloon for us all :-)

Are you sure? I got them very late in the day, so must have been some amazing seats ahead of mine if as you say "first order gets the best tickets"

Yeah, got lucky, no captcha and got them straight away. £185 a pop though :confused:

congrats! great work! did you get them at noon on the dot or a few minutes later?

No, they were already in an envelope with my name on it when I got there. Therefore they are pre-allocated (assume you get the actual returns you grabbed on Ticketmaster).

In our case the seats were phenomenal. Seven rows back, just to the right of the net and on the player seating side.

well done...you there bang on 12 - it must juts be pot luck - but seriously well done

No, first order gets the best tickets. So nothing you can do now. Congrats. First try?

I got a pair! Come on Murray Federer!

Does anyone know how the returns seats are allocated? Do you queue up and first there get the pick of the available tickets?

not a sniff of one....cant imagine many more than 10 or 20 for mens final returned sureyl....who would ??

No. And I was quick!

Anyone get a ticket for the final on returns? I know like 9 people looking and no one I know was able to get!!!

Section512 Row ZE

One single ticket for Sat will be released at 9:10 - I am doing a test run and got hold of one ticket ...

2 still available for Saturday.

Great shout Ian - pity it wasnt sunday ;-)

Tickets are available for centre Saturday , returns , time now 4.30 pm

just 1 ticket though

got it at 1205.....then went through process of buying as it gives you 2 mins then 5 mins then another 8 or 9 mins to hold it

So you got returns at 12:20?

going back into pot in 2 min 30 from now

Got womens final ticket i basket which am putting back - just wanted to test process as want mens final ones....finally i got a returns to work :-)
anyone online looking for one ??

Yeah I had 1 reserved yesterday - just annoyed I cant beat the system lol

well done again and enjoy tomorrows matches...will be amazing provided Andy wins :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah im much the same....200mb but get 25mb downstairs on wireless...

Yes, first attempt. I took a screenshot at 09:00:37, and I had 01:17 to complete my order. That must mean I got the tickets at 09:00:24? Section 512, seats 244-245.

I got tickets today. First time I haven't had to do a captcha, got them at 5 seconds past 9.

Unfortunately got timed out as I waited for my girlfriend to confirm if she could come!! Oh well, £300 I've saved... :disappointed:

(My fault really, I assumed the clock reset every time you moved to the next screen and I ran out of time filling in my details)

I open the ticket page for that particular day at 08:59, and keep hitting refresh until the tickets comes on sale. You dont have to do CAPTCHA until after the tickets are available.

I managed to get reserved today and yesterday, and returns on tuesday. But keep in mind yesterday was ladies. Tickets was available 45 minutes after they went on sale.

I pay for 250 Mbps, but line test says only 32 Mbps.

When you say keep refreshing, do you mean you get to the main ticket page for that day's play and then refresh - having to complete CAPTCHA each time?

eivind - have you managed the last 3 days in a row to get tickets at 9am ?? if so my hat is doffed - you have the knack :-)

its like all tickets gone at 10-15 secs past 9....gutted

think more people are put off the price to be honest compared to first week when you see more matches, what block is everyone in? did everyone get them at the first attempt

whats your internet speed....im on about 25mb here....was logged in at about 4 sec past....

I log in at 08:59, and keep refreshing. Today the tickets didn't came up until 8 seconds past 9, so I was quite surprised to get tickets. :smiley:

what time did you guys log in at.....ive neevr had a sniff at these 9am ones....

I got semi tickets too!...well my bf did :smiley::smiley: can't wait! I definitely think there is a tad less competition for these as the price is pretty insane....I would try my luck for finals if you haven't managed to get any already if you are ok paying £175.

well done thats maazing - but how did you do that....ive been trying since 1 sec past 9

Got two tickets for mens semi finals tomorrow.

A few times I've had no picture but when I got the ticket for yesterday, was an amazing day, I did get the picture. It was about 9.05 when my ticket came up. It's just luck I think.

Who here doesn't see a picture captcha when applying ?

It's honestly down to luck this year and also remember the more people that know about it the less chance you have it's all that dam captcha though when it use to be type in the 2 words I could ge a ticket for evey day if I wanted to but know it is a complete lottery!

I gave up after the first few days, as I couldn't go after that. I did keep trying for 15 mins but never got any luck

I have found similar although I did have a system that worked for last year but not this year. I think this year the servers update at different times. So one updates soon after 12 but another maybe a second or two later. So it seems more about luck in terms of the server you hit rather than the speed you go at.

Oh and its also even more about luck as some people get a picture captcha and some people go straight through. Fortunately by plugging away and not giving up after the first 30 seconds I've managed to go 3 times this year , twice by getting tickets between 8-10 mins after they went on sale.

I dont think its just people who return them but also debentures \ companys that cant use them and also people who have their tickets cancelled because they try and sell them on for a profit like some of the ones which were on ebay. But you are right I cant see any genuine ballot people sending those back in.

Long story short -

On Tuesday (trialling the system)
Tried at 9am for 2x Wed Centre Court Reserved, and plugged away at it for 5-6 mins getting through the captcha repeatedly as quick as i could. Was relieved to eventually be offered 2 seats in block 508 but let them lapse after the 2mins as i couldn't attend this day. (gutted as some good matches)

Tried for the 12pm returns for Thursday, and plugged away at it for 30 mins but got nothing.

Today (wanted tickets for Thursday as i could go)

Tried at 9am for 2x Thurs Centre Court Reserved, and plugged away at it for 7-8 mins getting through the captcha repeatedly as quick as i could. Was relieved to eventually be offered 2 seats in block 502 and this time went through the buy process which atleast offers you generally enough time at each stage to create account etc as long as you have info to hand, and completed checkout without issue. :smiley: Hurray we're going.

Out of interest, tried for the 12pm returns, and plugged away at it for 30 mins again but got nothing.

So moral of the story is its not impossible, keep trying, be lucky!

Federer is done...i think.

What is Federer doing??

I used to be able to get them everyday, got tickets for family members too but since they introduced the captcha I've been useless, nothing this year or last year.

Those that have had success, is the technique still to logon at 8.59/11.59 and keep hitting refresh until it changes, then a flat race to fill in the ticket numbers and captcha, quickest wins. If you don't get any the first time you might as well give up?

I've lost my mojo!

Wish you all the luck in the world!! Enjoy if you do get them!!

Yep, going to have another shot at it tomorrow! Do wish that I tried earlier in the first week now, then at least I would've gone this year! Fingers crossed for tomorrow

No, I did not buy the tickets. I was just practicing for mens final :wink:

Are your four tkts for the same day?? Only two tkts can be bought per name, per household etc! Be careful if that is the case! Check it out as you wouldn't want tkts to be cancelled!!

I think mens semi final is going to be the day to go - would love to go on that day personally!

Also don't give up returns are always near impossible try again tomorrow morning!

To be honest i doubt there were more than 10 returns for Mens SF day - who would return those ??

Truly impossible to get...even if you refresh at 12 on the dot it is down to luck, doesn't look like I'm going this year :disappointed:

Lol. True. I searched now, and still got tickets for tomorrow.

btw still single womens tickets for tomorrow available.....

defo easier for women's matches....ive had qf returns last 2 years for the women's (Tuesday fo 2nd week) whilst not even getting a sniff at anything else

well done you on getting more !!!

I believe it is and also as the price goes up I think less people try for tickets like me can barely afford the £100 for third round so it's way out of my price range now! Well done on getting tickets you will love it!

Got two tickets today as well. Do you guys think its easier when the ladies play? I managed two returns yesterday and two reserved today.

I got my ticket for tomorrow

No it wasn't the app.comes up as ticketmaster mobile when I searched on Google

Did you use the ticketmaster app

When was that for ??

I managed to get tickets on my phone straight away.my iPad and laptop were having none of it so switched wifi off on my phone and got one straight away with 3G.Might just be pot luck though but that worked for me

Thanks so much for the tips I will get some things to take with me

Prob about 1 in 100 chance of getting the final...
and that'll be 184 quid a ticket, you'd need to really like your tennis!

How likely do we think tickets are available for friday and sunday mens sf and final ?? Are they actually released as it seems almost impossible to snare them....

Managed to returns today, but I guess its easier when its ladies and not gents playing.

Two of us been trying to get any tickets for today, luck but now watching centre court on BBC and there is half seats empty. Even BBC commentators said it very quiet.
Where are them tickets I'm asking!

Been trying for 5 different days this year both in return and reserved, no luck like in previous years.

Congrats! You can take a lot of food in which I advise as its around £9 for a meal there (fish+chips, pizza, mexican etc) I usually stock up on meal deals. Pimms is also £8.50 so take a few cans in if you want them!

Also for any HSBC customers you can get free strawberries and cream from there booth (next to there bank near the museum)

I got one as well.on my bucket list to go.Thanks for the reminder OP.Going on my own but I am sure I will enjoy myself lol.Just need to read what you can take in with you now

Well done for getting a ticket and queuing, mens QF will be a great day to go as well enjoy!

This year seems incredibly difficult compared to previous years. I havent had any luck at all.

Just got 1 ticket for tomorrow, men's quarter finals. So chuffed, been camping out last 34 years so will be paradise to go in without queueing! Thanks Keith.

This was my view on saturday block 523 row ZA near the back but not to bad (and I could see who was in the royal box)


On Sunday I was on court one so here a picture from there I moved around a fair bit though!


On a side note court 1 won't have the same roof again so glad I got to be in there for one last time!

Block 206 row L on Friday:

Last week I was lucky twice - on Tuesday I managed to get two Centre Court Returns for Thursday (day 4) and on Wednesday I got two Centre Court Returns for Friday (day 5).

On the Thursday we were assigned block 309 row S and on the Friday block 206 row L. From my experience this year (and in past years) the returns are much better.

Keep trying, tickets do exist. You just need to be quick off the mark!

Quite happy I don't have to battle through ticketmaster any more this year but I'm still mega happy I had centre on saturday and court 1 sunday.

Think next year I might just enter the ballot though!

Yea I've seen this.
Still not sure if its the local browser caching, or a problem at the TicketMaster side.
That delay basically gives you no chance, as some others are getting it instantly.

When i update a couple of seconds after 12:00, the tickets are not on sale. I have to wait 4-5-6 seconds.

Not suprised, this year is like throwing a dart at a dart board with you eyes shut and getting a bullseye

i gave up on ticketmaster

apparently I wasnt fast enough to get in the first 10,000 people yesterday for centre court today, but I was fast enough just then to get 2 return tickets in the handful that go on sale. Me thinks ticketmaster queuing system is stuff this year

Anyone have any luck this morning?

Nothing there for tomorrow...

yeah v strange. can't seem to see tomorrow's tickets....

Weird, last night and this morning, only the dates for middle Sunday have come up on Ticketmaster. Is anyone else having this problem?

Basically we just met 100 yards up the road from gate 12/13, and I gave him cash, I assume they have cameras on the road even outside the grounds. Inside security woman came to me, asked for my ticket, asked how I paid for it etc, I was honest. They told me tickets not transferrable then said I would have to leave.

Yeah I had similar error message come up so I clicked the back button and it took me to booking confirmation page so it did go through! Weird.

So annoyed at Ticketmaster site, got through to the payment area and completed the form in under one minute, when i got to the 3D Secure area it timed out with an error and kicked me out of the booking form :disappointed: Raging is not the word.

Has this happened to anyone else?

What happened?

and commiseration for being kicked out

congratiulation

Managed to get tickets on CC for tomorrow. Very lucky. I got kicked out today because I bought tickets through someone on Twitter.

Wimbledon tweeted now sold out hope some of you managed to get tickets!

i dont have the patience after the past 5 years of no luck.not going.yet again

You want to avoid ticketmaster then as the seats they allocate on the 9am sale are always at the back!

I would be spending a lot of money on travelling too.Considering I have work on Monday, and lots of other factors, it makes more sense to skip it this year.

I'm also an unabashed seat snob :wink:

And now from 77 minutes down to 3-2-1 and no tickets for Centre either. Oh well, look on the bright side. Saved myself £75 plus petrol, plus parking!!

What is the problem with Unreserved? I don't think there are any outright bad seats in either Centre Court or Court One. I doubt they are selling more than the capacity of the court - or if so only a few more to allow for no shows.

I'm in Manchester so it would involve spending a lot of money on trains along with the tickets. Might wait until next year now!

Bear in mind though it may be unreserved but as there's only 10,000 tickets for Centre court and it holds around 17,000 you'll still get a good seat, I would have thought.

I actually got two but considering it's unreserved I've just had a chat with my mum and there's no point us going. KOGONAI, what are you doing, get back on there and wait!

i gave up and closed the window.6th year unlucky

Wait time 93 minutes for Court 1 after the first queue turned up with nothing

from 95 to 111 to 3 now at 48

My wait time went down to 1 minute and now it's managed to work its way back to 6. If greencode didn't have any luck I imagine I won't either! Awfully organised.

Got to front of queue for Court One then said no tickets available. Trying again now.

Well that was a waste of time. Went down to 3-2-1 minute and then "Sorry, no tickets from venue currently...
Many fans are shopping and some may have let their tickets go. You can try again, or you can explore one of the options below."! Shambles

Ticketmaster has and is an awful site with rubbish servers!

111 minutes now.not 11. not 1.111

Got a court 1 ticket looks like I'm coming back tomorrow!

95 minutes for centre.must be kidding

The wait time should surely decrease, not fluctuate. I'm convinced the Ticketmaster website is run by amateurs.

Umm, 6 minutes waiting time for Court 1. 69 minutes for Centre!

Centre Court just became available - 90 mins wait on that queue. Not optimistic at this point.

In the queue for Court 1. Centre Court tickets weren't available. Went from 32 minutes waiting time to 18 minutes, now up to 34 minutes!!

Ridiculous!

I am in a queue for Court 1 tickets (13 mins wait). No sign of Centre Court tickets just yet.

after 5 years i had a chance finally.even that looks slim now

Also Ticketmaster is exceptionally slow for me at least

anyone has a link?

http://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/centre-court-middle-sunday-2016-london-03-07-2016/event/350050E1A3758109?artistid=29663&majorcatid=10004&minorcatid=31

But none on sale yet as far as I can tell

If they do, please post!

anyone has a link?

if you find tickets stay overnight and walk in first sit next to federer

It seems slightly unfair to do an unreserved system considering some of us would have to travel in the morning, and according to National Rail the earliest I could probably get to Wimbledon is around 12pm. I'm hoping they reserve them once you've booked them, but by the sounds of it "unreserved" is literally first come, first served, which is disappointing.

EDIT: I say that, I can't even see where the tickets are meant to be on Ticketmaster, so not exactly an issue, haha

Nope I've been speaking to a few stewards and it's unreserved for all courts.

surely they would allocate first come best seats just like the returns at 12pm

Just a heads up I'm here now and seating whatever court you are on is unreserved so get here early!

nothing

Can anyone actually see the tickets on Ticketmaster? All the Wimbledon tickets have disappeared for me...

you know my history with wimbledon tickets over the past 5 years.if i have a chance this weekend you can get mens finals easily

Bit of info for anyone trying to get tickets. Got a return for Centre Court yesterday. My boyfriend then decided he wanted to go after all lol so he queued up from about 4pm and got a Ground Pass at 5.30pm (£18). Then to our amazement, whilst we were scoffing our food outside, a very kind couple gave us their Court 1 tickets as they were leaving for the day so we got to see Djokovic for 2 games before rain stopped play haha. Boyfriend then queued up for a Centre Court return (£10) and was able to see the last set of the Federer match in a great seat in 209. Moral of the story - even if you aren't lucky with Tickemaster, still go, get a ground pass, queue for returns, sit on Henman Hill and enjoy...it's an amazing place.

15,000 can get onto centre court so I'd hope they'd be easier :smiley:

Still trying for returns for Monday at 12 as well though :smiley:

Wonder if middle Sunday tickets will be easy enough to get

For today for example the queue is already full so you wouldn't get on till 4-5 then you would have to queue again for re sale to get onto centre court not really worth it in my opinion.

Also incase other people aren't aware play is happening tomorrow (middle Sunday) ticket details are being released at 1pm all tickets being sold online!

Thanks for the info
I will give it go might get lucky
Is the queue for just entrance ok at that time and be able to get in , just to experience it would be amazing so if I don't get get into a court wouldn't be the end of the world

If unsuccessful on ticketmaster you need to queue to get a ground pass then go to the resale queue above court 18. Be warned that you could be waiting hours and be unsuccessful though.

I am thinking of going on Tuesday for the 1st time on my birthday , I will try to get tickets at 9am on Monday but if not is it possible to turn up at 3pm or before and get returns ? Any suggestions , thanks

I am thinking of going on Tuesday for the 1st time on my birthday , I will try to get tickets at 9am on Monday but if not is it possible to turn up at 3pm or before and get returns ? Any suggestions , thanks

Have anyone managed to buy tickets through the app?

Also the 12 returns are very very difficult to get (I have never got them) compared to the 9am sales which are easier but they are both difficult this year!

​Ohhh crap, you're right!

​Ohhh crap, you're right!

Tomorrow :smiley:

FYI:
For returns tickets will go on sale with Ticketmaster at around 48 hours before the day of play e.g. at noon on Saturday for play on Monday June.

Reserved seating tickets will go on sale each morning at 9.00am for the following day's play e.g. on Sunday 26th June for play on Monday 27th June

​You got them for tomorrow or Monday?

I thought the tickets for the next day are only available from 12 p.m the day before...?

Thanks the only annoying thing is I don't think they will put Murray on centre and looking at the order of play it isn't going to be amazing on the day but it's Wimbledon so i'm not complaining!

Refreshed at 1 second past as that is when the page changes select 2 and then go for it remember you only actually start searching for tickets once the captcha is done so if someone comes on at 4 seconds past and doesn't get a captcha they will jump you in the queue. Honestly I have had 2/8 and actually amazed I got in.

Nope - no luck for me. I got a page up at about 30 seconds before 09:00am which said 'Pre-sale is live now' at the top so I may have wasted time trying to use that page.

Congrats for getting tickets - Saturday ones will always be the toughest to get.

Do you guys refresh at EXACTLY 12:00? Sometimes I do, but then tickets aren't up for sale yet, and I lose seconds.

No :disappointed:

Anyone else get lucky?

YES! Got tickets failed at first but then it came up with 2 in block 522 couldn't be happier miracles do happen!

Got a few on practise attempts but none recently , got one this morning , most people go for 2 centre court

Same here, used to get tickets for most days, now got tickets for first 2 days but only about 8-10 mins after they went on sale when someone threw them back into the pot. cant seem to get any sense of how to get them this year.

Yes been a few times first second and third round rest are to expensive but this year with the new captcha I've had 1/7 attempts so far.

I've been to two men's finals, two first rounds and men's quarters (front row) via ticketmaster but can't seem to get any this year. Anyone else had success in the past but is having trouble this year?

Depends on court you want and when you can get there.

First train early or night Before

If you go early you should definitely get in with a ground pass maybe even court 1,2 if your lucky.

Top tip take a picnic blanket and something to cover your eyes so you can sleep!

​Oh cheers.

Couldn't get tickets for tomorrow so will probably queue from early tomorrow morning if I'm bothered.

Depends what court for center your looking at 5am the day before on the today probably 6am. I queued once got there at 5am and got on court 2!

Have a look at the twitter account @viewfromtheq it gives you some idea on what times people turn up and what numbers they are.

​What time would you have to start queuing from to guarantee yourself a ticket?

Centre I imagine court 3 is easier I am thinking next year to get court 3 then just go onto the resale queue to try and get onto centre.

Does everybody go for centre court or court 3

Nothing again :/ spent 25 minutes constantly checking just in case but nothing. Praying against all hope I have some success tomorrow!

Have to say because of how difficult it has been this year it has made me want to queue next year seems to be the only way to guarantee a ticket!

I wonder if chances are higher searching for 1 ticket instead of 2.
Although I really don't want to go alone

Why have comments been removed?

Searching for tickets. Sit tight. Bam. No tickets. :smile:

​Yeah you're probably right tbh.

​Any luck today?

Yep, seems pretty random. Worth trying for around 10 minutes past the time and see if you have any luck because before today I'd tried numerous times without success.

I think it's only worth trying for 15-20 minutes after the sale starts. It's incredibly difficult to get tickets this year!

Been trying for the last hour. No luck. Even tweeted Ticketmaster to tell them their website is appalling :smile:

At work so 100mb but I find it doesn't help at all!

what are everyones internet speeds

Yep it probably is now!

All down to luck but today I didn't get one and still couldn't get tickets.

Thank you. Probably a little late now.

howcome some people dont get captcha

Probably someone now wanting the tickets so they went back up for sale, your very lucky I have had next to no luck at getting in recently 1/6 in attempts so far!

Am I looking at the right day?

Very strange. You guys talk about Captcha. I dont even get to the search page. All I get is:"Tickets not currently available from Ticketmaster"

Amazingly, went on just now and could have got a ticket for centre court tomorrow but was put off by the price (£95) and the seat (right at the very very back). Maybe returns will be a better seat.

That's the one it's 9am for next day reserved seats e.g. you book and know excatly where you are sitting.

It's the midday for 2 days time returned seats which you find out where they are when you get there.

If you are lucky enough to get through.

Nothing again and I didn't even have a captcha just click the box, I think my chances for Saturday are getting slim to none :disappointed: So frustrating!

I tried first time this morning and it appears I am looking in the wrong link.
Is it "Centre Court Reserved - Seats allocated at time of booking" - "Fri 01/07/16 10:30"?

I got a single ticket today...resale Centre Court for Friday! Thanks to everyone for the advice here. Don't give up! I've tried loads of times before. Keep trying!

Was anyone successful today?

Alas, no tickets today. Ridiculous. :neutral_face:

I agree with you there I don't think it is right that Ticketmaster get tickets at all I'm grateful they do and have been a few times as a result but personally they should give more tickets to people in the queue or just redistribute more in the ballot.

Having been in that queue the people in it definitely deserve it !

​While the agree that Wimbledon is massively oversubscribed, it should be organised in the way the other Opens are. Tickets should be available online, through a normal online retailer, not trash like Ticketmaster.

Sometimes I refresh the site at 13:00:01, and still no tickets for sale. Maybe its better to wait a couple of seconds? If you have to refresh two times, you lose out.

Searching for tickets. Sit tight. Bam. No tickets. :smile:

Controversial but I like the ballot system as it is a completly fair process. The problem is wimbledon is massively oversubscribed and everyone and there brother wants a ticket.

Also for the ballot I recommend getting everyone you know onto the ballot then you have a better chance of going but you didnt hear that from me :wink:

and store fronts!

The website has been so slow to refresh for me taking 10 seconds compared to 1 yesterday got no chance if this carries on!

Keep clicking "search again" over and over again. Site keeps saying "sorry, no tickets from venue currently..."

Wimbledon organisers are still living in the 1930s with their ballot system.

I HATE RIVERS

No refresh it yourself :smiley:

Is the site supposed to auto refresh or what?

I believe so what days are you wanting to go to wimbledon this year?

is reserved seats allocated 501 first then 523 last? got 2 in 520 today for practise but didnt buy them

Nothing today website was dog slow to load so didn't think I had much of a chance.

Praying for more luck in the next few desperate to go Saturday!

App was appaling to try and get tickets. I got on bang on 9 then it just said searching for like 20 seconds, refreshed and nothing

Will try tomo thanks

Good one mate you're the man!!

Some of us just want to go to Wimbledon....

Believe me, its not hard to bypass the captcha if you are skilled in computers.
Although the good thing about these Wimbledon tickets is that at the gate they STRICTLY double check that you to have your id, your ticket with your name and more importantly your card that was used to make the transaction. That all but stops any ticket touts

I just haven't timed it right - I don't always try either just when I can actually go

OP has only managed to get tickets once? Doesn't exactly bode well :neutral_face:

this would make it trivial to write computer programs to secure tickets for human users who can then do the captcha at leisure. it's imperative for the captcha to be before the search....

Next year, it should be down to click "find tickets" fastest. And then you can solve the captcha later on, before you pay.

Yep, especially the "click street signs until theres no left". One time I had to click the same picture ten times.

Yes I think if your quick of the mark you should be fine but it's so difficult when your panicking to do it!

No luck on returns as expected :/

Me...

Anyone else finding the new captures to be a pain?

For the first time, I managed two return tickets for thursday. Gives me hope for next week! :smiley:

Managed to get 1 return for Wednesday. Hope Willis and Federer play on centre. Tried at 9am this morning and failed. Hesitated for just 2 seconds in trying to decide whether to put 1 ticket or 2. Rookie error. Cost me.

So I'm now 2/3 for being offered a ticket. But due to my own stupidity 1/3 in actually completing the transaction.

Question for the pros: if I log in to Ticketmaster on two laptops, and get my wife to help me get a ticket, will it cancel the transaction?

Thanks!

Trucks I think...but to be honest I'm getting on in years and I'm not as fast as I once was...and whats worse is I used to umpire at Wimbledon in the 80/90's. :smiley:

What captacha did you get? All down to that I think!

I think I need a better mouse....or better reactions:)

Got in today had to select the images of tea and did that and 2 tickets available generally think it all on the captcha that you get but puts me in better confidence for Saturday!

Also FYI browser: Chrome OS: Windows 10

Had a great day out today , was sitting in section 309, must have been the "worste" returns as I got these on Saturday at 12:10 so if the seats are allocated in order, cant see anyone being behind us in the q.

Queue to get in at gate 4 was v long. Longer than I have had in previous years. only 2 people on bag checks and I think they said they had loads of returns for day 1 for some reason.

Only weird thing was the lady in front of me kept turning round to me and my friend throughout the day and giving us strange looks. I thought it was because we were talking, on the way out she turned to me and said "why did you and your friend keep sticking pins into me all day". Obviously we hadn't touched the woman but she was adiment something like that had happened .

Cant see how anyone would go to centre court to do that but hey, takes all sorts

OP assume the following should read Sunday 26th June for play on Monday 27th June:

"Reserved seating tickets will go on sale each morning at 9.00am for the following day's play e.g. on Sunday 27th June for play on Monday 29th June"

That was in browser. Google chrome. I'd suggest you keep going with returns until 12:15 even. There's a big chance people won't bother going through with the purchase. Especially as it creeps up to £75 plus a ticket from Wednesday

Thought it was 12:30 and not 12! Schoolboy error :disappointed:

App or browser?

I managed to get a return ticket for Wednesday. It was only a single ticket and I managed to secure it at 12:04.

spent too long selecting '2 tickets together'

And: have anyone managed to buy through The app? Theres no robot-Thing there

So, anyone got returns now?

I was on The web. The page did not auto refresh.

"Nice to hear some do become available at a later point"

These will only be from people who have had tickets, and chosen not to actually purchase them.
Chances of this happening the further the tournament progresses reduces.
Probably happens frequently now as people are just having "trial" runs

Nice to hear some do become available at a later point I'm getting screwed over by the captacha and having to select Street signs so by the time I actually get in its well to late probably around 25 seconds after they go on sale.

What browsers are everyone using?

"was refreshing my screen at 9am this morning and it didnt show tickets onsale until around 7 seconds past"

This is the key point, I think this aspect appears to be down to luck and which web server you randomly get allocated to. (Even if you solve the captcha fast, if its been slow to actually show tickets then you've probably lost it...

I was refreshing my screen at 9am this morning and it didnt show tickets onsale until around 7 seconds past. Was that just me or anyone else get in sooner? By the time I did the captcha is was around 13 secs past and all were gone.

Luckily I didnt give up and got tickets at 9:08 . So off today with returns and back there tomorrow with reserved :smiley:

Am 3 from 4 so far :smiley: But its all about luck this year nothing else. unless someone wants to prove me wrong ?

Did the page auto refresh for you and were you on the web or the app? Thanks

Today I finally was able to "see" two tickets, but didn't buy. So 1/4 so far. I dont have high hopes for the mens final :wink:

I bough tickets for the Rolland Garros final, and I must say the french system for tickets is much better. Its no luck at all.

Today I finally was able to "see" two tickets, but didn't buy. So 1/4 so far. I dont have high hopes for the mens final :wink:

Man it's hard this year it's all down to the captacha you get and if you are lucky your chances are much greater!

Does the website auto refresh when tickets are avaliable or do you have to manually do it? Also for those on the app same question I never even saw them become avaliable!

Definitely more frustrating this year :/

Nothing this morning. Was very quick and only after one ticket too. Time to try again at 12!

Always using browser never the app. Used to be similarly lucky with fast fingers , unfortunately not much use now. Trying to find a method to cut out time but it looks like the random nature of putting some people straight through is quicker anything I could do if I get pictures.

I got returns twice last year and for tomorrow first day. Have got them only on first day apart fro last year when I got ones on the first friday and they ended up being in the front row (see last years thread for the pics).

So its always a gamble but something you get v lucky but it can be very frustrating too.

I get the same message in the app. I also have problems with the app in general. Always tells me it can't connect to the server.

The first couple of times i tried, i didn't have to pick pictures.

Argh so it really is now luck! I suppose that is fairer but more annoying for me and my fast gaming fingers!

When you succeed were you on the app or website? Must say I have never had success at returns ever as they are super limited so always sat at the back in the gods!

on the website I try for returns tomorrow and reserved, I know there's non left, but it still gives me the option to search, ticketmaster app does not

Tickets aren't on sale yet they get released at 9am/midday so it should update then!

Mobile app says no tickets available at this time for the days

Even worse, for some random people it doesnt through up pictures but just goes through so however fast you are, it seems those people on browsers are getting the returns. More luck that ever before this year by looks of it

Thanks I am doing a few dry runs this year to see how I get on its annoying they have changed the captacha from text based only to the image one really does mean it is down to luck!

Heard in previous years they have seperate "pots" for app and browser. out of the 3 "goes" so far I've got tickets on 2 of them. Problem with only needing them on Saturday is come those tickets you could be stressed out :smiley:

It begins! 2 years ago went three times due to being fast on ticketmaster but last year had no luck I am only aiming for the Saturday (work :neutral_face:) so going to do a few dry runs via the app and website I am hearing the app is the better chance of success though?

Good luck to all this year and enjoy your day if you are going!

250 MB down and 20 MB UP. Can i order through the app?

got 2 for tuesday for returns but didnt buy again as cant go, yeah i did picture thing, make sure you get it right first time

what is your internet speed eivind

Are you using browser? Did you have to do the picture thing? I have tried three times, and I think am quite quick, but no luck.

So, does it work to use the ticketmaster uk app? Is it faster? The robot-thing is causing me all sorts of problems.

i got 2 on a practise trial but didnt buy them because i cant go, just try to get through for fun.

is everyone going for every day? price gets quite expensive near the final

Yep. if you had done the first single ticket on Chrome and then went for 2 more some IE or Firefox you'd of been fine . Last year when I was trying for a certain day I managed to get through twice on the same slot. Bit like lightening hitting twice but it can happen.

ahhhhh!! I was offered a ticket! but I had only selected 1. so I got greedy and opened a new browser (not new tab) and tried to get two. when I came back and tried to buy the 1 it told me there had been a problem.

this is because I had read on this page https://blog.tickpick.com/buy-tickets-on-ticketmaster-fast/ that new browser windows do not count

DO NOT MAKE THIS MISTAKE FRIENDS!

last year got almost every day at home on old format, every second of hesitation counts

And it was Monday yes cc

I did it on a pc mate in Manchester before travelling down to London. So contrary to what some people think living closer to ticket masters servers in London does not matter. I tried ticket master last year during the queue on my phone but no luck despite my singnal being 4 plus

I refreshed the page at 12 bang on didn't have search refreshed instantly had search. My verification was only clicking to say I was not a robot I didn't have to do any picture ones. I'll try for court 3 tomorrow for Tuesday. I'm in London for the whole two weeks so ticket master saves the pain of having to queue.

hi mate, you got 2 returns at 12:10 how lucky, did you have to do the pictures verification thing or did it search for tickets without clicking the pictures of cookies, rivers etc

Successful for CC on Monday via returns! Are returns usually the better seats?

yeah its now just down to luck - my page didn't update until 12.02...

Anyone notice the ticket layout page is different now (no timer countdown). The old layout was better & did everyone have to do the pictures verification thing once you click find tickets?

Shhh! Every year someone posts this, makes it harder and harder to get! :disappointed:

​Serena's?

As the person who put up last years deal ..... please have some heat :smiley:

As you'll see from last years thread I managed to go 3 times over the course of the first week before I ran out of cash :smiley:

This year looks more about luck than any skill so best of luck to anyone who tries.

Tennis fans at Wimbledon.... is there anything more excruciating?
