Reserved debenture seats on Centre Court and No. 1 Court, your own gate, and debenture bars serving Champagne, strawberries and afternoon tea. The only Wimbledon tickets that can legally be resold, with no ballot and no Queue.
A debenture is a seat right issued by the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC). It gives its holder a premium seat on Centre Court or No. 1 Court for every day of The Championships, for five years, and the money raised goes back into the Grounds.
Holders can sell the days they aren’t using, which is where our Wimbledon debenture tickets for sale come from. A debenture ticket is one day in one of those seats, and you don’t need to own a debenture to buy one.
A reserved seat on a show court, and a calmer, more comfortable day around it.
A numbered seat in the debenture rows on Centre Court or No. 1 Court, yours for the whole day’s play on that court.
Both are available from The Terrace on Centre Court and The Lounge on No. 1 Court, ready to carry back to court.
Scones with Wimbledon jam and Cornish clotted cream, cakes and tea, served in The Terrace and The Lounge.
Arrive through Gate 4, the debenture ticket holders’ gate, then spend the day in the debenture bars and restaurants for your court.
Both courts have retractable roofs, so play can carry on in the rain.
Unreserved seats on No. 3 Court, Court 12, Court 18 and the outside courts, plus practice viewing at Aorangi.
Hosts in Ralph Lauren uniforms are on hand throughout the debenture areas.
Leave your coat inside the Centre Court and No. 1 Court debenture areas.
Food and drink in the debenture areas are paid for separately. The fine-dining rooms are booked by registered debenture holders, but you can ask at the Debenture Information Point about tables on the day.
Both are show courts with debenture rows, a roof and their own bars and restaurants. Each day on our events page shows which court the tickets are for.

Seven things worth knowing before you go.
The seller transfers your tickets to your myWimbledon account, under the email you bought with. Make sure they’re there well before the day.
Your ticket lives in the Wimbledon App and its QR code goes live at 7am on the day. Bring photo ID for entry.
District line to Southfields, then a 15-minute walk. Uber and Bolt can’t get through the Church Road closure, and there’s no on-the-day parking.
It’s the debenture gate on Church Road. The Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum is right there, and free during The Championships.
The Grounds and debenture areas open at 10am. Play starts at 1pm on No. 1 Court and 1.30pm on Centre Court (earlier on Finals Weekend).
One bag each, no bigger than 40 × 30 × 30cm, and expect a bag search at the gate. Check the prohibited items list.
Show your ticket at the debenture entrance for a wristband for the day, before you take your seat.
Debenture holders set their own prices, which vary by day, round and court and may be above face value. Right now, tickets on this site start from £1,250. Buyers pay no added fee on top of the listed price.
Yes. Debenture tickets are the only tickets for The Championships that the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) allows to be sold on the open market. Every other type of Wimbledon ticket is non-transferable.
No. Debenture holders can sell the tickets for any day they are not using, so you can buy a ticket for a single day without owning a debenture yourself.
Debenture seats are in rows A to N on Centre Court and rows A to Q on No. 1 Court. Your seat details give a gangway, row and seat number; the gangway is the stairwell you use to reach your seat. Tickets listed well in advance may show the seat as not yet assigned.
Yes. On each day’s page, choose from 1 to 4 tickets and we show the sets of seats offered together by a single seller, with the seat details and total price. If no set of that size is available, that option is greyed out.
Yes. A Centre Court debenture ticket gives access to the Centre Court debenture bars and restaurants, and to The Renshaw restaurant in No. 1 Court by reservation. A No. 1 Court debenture ticket gives access to the No. 1 Court debenture bars and restaurants.
No. Food and drink are paid for separately. You can buy Champagne and strawberries in The Terrace on Centre Court and The Lounge on No. 1 Court to take back to your seat, and afternoon tea with scones is served there from 3pm.
No. A debenture ticket is for a seat on a specific court on a specific day, not for a particular match, round or player. The AELTC can move matches between courts.
Debenture tickets are usually released to debenture holders by the AELTC four to five weeks before The Championships. The seller then transfers your tickets to your myWimbledon account, using the email address you used to buy them.
No. We charge a single fee to the seller only. Buyers pay no added fee and never pay more than the listed price.
Every purchase is covered by our buyer’s guarantee. We ensure your tickets are valid or provide a full refund, and if there is a problem we will try to find suitable alternative tickets. If the event is cancelled and not rescheduled, you can choose a full refund or a credit of 120% of your original payment, usable until the end of the following year’s Championships. See our terms and conditions for the full guarantee.
