Debentures

A Wimbledon Debenture ticket provides a prime location seat on Centre Court and No.1 Court, offering an unrivalled view of the tennis, for an entire day’s play at The Championships, as well as entry to the exclusive Debenture Holders' areas such as bars and restaurants.

Debenture tickets are the only tickets that are freely transferable and therefore the only legitimately resalable tickets for Wimbledon, giving you guaranteed access to the best seats on your chosen. As such, they are sought-after globally, from A-listers and sporting legends to some of the world's most powerful and influential figures, and demand has always exceeded supply ever since their introduction.

AELTC strongly enforce their policy against unapproved transfers of non-debenture tickets. Anyone buying a non-debenture ticket risks their tickets being cancelled and having their entry denied or being ejected from The Championships. The simple rule is: “Only buy guaranteed Debenture tickets” from reputable businesses. All tickets purchased through Tickets To Wimbledon and Premier Events are Debentures and are 100% genuine and guaranteed.
As Debenture holders ourselves, and with relationships with long standing Debenture holders spanning four decades, no ticket agency is as experienced and has as much access to the best Debenture tickets than us.

Wimbledon Debentures are issued by the AELTC on a 5-year basis. Every year, debenture holders receive one debenture ticket for each debenture held for every day of the tournament. They have, over the years, been a significant source of income for the AELTC, which through careful investment has ensured The Championships remains the most prestigious event in the tennis calendar.

Debenture tickets are your guarantee of the finest seats in the best locations on Centre Court and No.1 Court at Wimbledon.

Centre Court Debenture seats are perfectly located in the middle ring running around the perimeter of the court, roughly in line with the Royal Box, and are located between rows A-N.
No.1 Court Debenture Holders’ seats are similarly located, between rows A-Q.

Debenture seating areas are denoted in GOLD in the seating plans below.

Exact seat details are made available to Debenture Holders when tickets are issued to them, usually around four weeks before The Championships.

As one of the largest holders of actual guaranteed Debenture ticket stock, we can offer tickets in most locations around Centre Court and No.1 Court. If you require tickets in a specific Gangway or have any preference of location, please call 020 7283 4040 or enquire here.

All bookings for two tickets are guaranteed to be seated together. The majority of debenture tickets are owned and sold in pairs of adjacent seats. For bookings of more than two, we endeavour to group tickets and, as the biggest stock holding reseller of grouped Debenture tickets, will do so whenever possible. However, bookings of three or more may be split unless stated otherwise. Grouped seats can be rare and guaranteed groups may incur a surcharge per ticket. If you require a guaranteed grouping together we encourage you to speak to a member of our experienced team who will be happy to assist.
Single ticket bookings are always welcomed.
For more information, please call 020 7283 4040 or ENQUIRE.

In addition to a prime location seat on Centre Court or No 1 Court for a full day’s world class tennis at Wimbledon, you have access to most of the courts around the Grounds on a first come first served basis. Debenture tickets also give you dedicated Debenture Holders’ entrance into the Grounds as well as access to Debenture Holders’ lounges, bars and restaurants, designed as places for guests in possession of a debenture ticket to eat, drink and relax.

• Prime location reserved Debenture Holders' seats on court for the entire day's play

Debenture tickets are for the court specified on the date shown and entitle the holder entrance to that court for the entire day’s tennis. The day’s Order Of Play is decided by The Championships’ Referee and is usually announced around 6.00pm the evening before the date printed on the ticket.

Traditionally, the reigning Gentlemen's Singles Champion opens Centre Court on Day 1 and the Ladies' Singles Champion is first on court on Day 2.

Wimbledon make every effort to provide a first-class programme on No.1 Court, but given its prestige and superior capacity, and a ticket price differential, Centre Court has historically hosted the most attractive matches in each round. During the first seven days of the tournament, Wimbledon aim to schedule at least three Singles matches on Centre and No.1 Court, often followed by Doubles matches if time allows it, but it always has to be borne in mind that if two five-set matches are scheduled which go the full distance to five sets, there may be only two matches that day on that Court. Tickets give the holder no entitlement to view any particular match or round of matches or any particular player.

Start of play is scheduled for 1.00pm on No.1 Court and 1.30pm on Centre Court daily except for the Ladies’ and Gentlemen’s Finals days, which are scheduled to start at 2.00pm on Centre Court. Play on the outside courts begins from 11.00am daily. The Grounds open at 10.00am. Play usually closes approximately 8.00pm depending on day, weather, light and matches state, but play has been known to go on until past 11.00pm!

Yes. Children over 5 years of age are required to have their own Debenture ticket. Babes in arms and children under 5 years of age will NOT be allowed into Centre Court or No.1 Court. Children aged between 5 and 12 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

With a roof on Centre Court and No. 1 Court rain delays are kept to a minimum on the two show courts.

If a match is suspended due to rain, the covers will first be deployed, before the roof is closed, and the match continued. Due to the change in playing conditions, players will get a full warm-up on returning to court. If the projected interruption is sufficiently brief, as determined by the Referee, the normal covers will be used and play then continued with the roof open. The Championships is an outdoor daytime event. Therefore, in good weather, the roof will only be used if it is too dark to play on without it.

Best efforts will be made to start play each day with the roof open. However, 45 minutes before the start of each day’s play, the Referee will decide if the first match will start with the roof open or closed. Any match originally scheduled for Centre Court or No1 Court will normally be completed if possible and if necessary the roof closed for reasons of rain or light. Any matches added to the original schedule may be stopped without the deployment of the roof at the discretion of the Referee. Planning constraints require play to finish by 11.00pm.

Debentures play a significant role in the story and history of Wimbledon. The money raised from Debenture issues fund projects around the Grounds to maintain Wimbledon as the premier Grand Slam. Debentures are issued for Centre Court and No.1 Court for a five-year term and Debenture Tickets are freely transferable. The 2021-2025 Centre Court Debentures were priced at £80,000 each. Only Debenture tickets may be legally transferred or sold on. You do not have to be a Wimbledon Debenture Holder to purchase a Debenture ticket from Tickets To Wimbledon and there is no limit to how many you may buy.

Wimbledon Debenter Holders do not own rights to specific seats in Centre Court or No.1 Court. They are guaranteed seats within the exclusive Debenture area (the lower rows of the middle ring around the court) on the their chosen court. The seats are randomly allocated to Debenture holders each year by the AELTC and the Debenture holders do not receive the same seats each year. As such, the Debenture holders don't find our their seating locations until they are received. Therefore, specific seat locations may not be available in advance. 

All Debenture seats are of equal category and we promise you that all tickets provided by Tickets To Wimbledon offer a prime view of the tennis on court. The vast majority of our returning clients year on year are content with the seating delivered to them, however, we recognise that many tennis fans prefer specific seating locations where possible. As such, we welcome requests for preferred seating areas or Gangways. Given our expertise, experience and volume of debenture tickets we handle, we can often satisfy these requests.
If you require the guaranteed of a specific location, please call our team on 020 7283 4040 or email service@ticketstowimbledon.com.

We will, however, try to mitigate your losses by attempting to resell tickets on your behalf.
