Wimbledon 2024 ticket balloting receives great response

Thursday, 28 September 2023 at 09:00

Ticket balloting for the Wimbledon Championship 2024 has already begun and has seen a huge demand from the fans.

The competition, which is the only major tournament to be played on grass court, is one of the oldest in the history of tennis and started 146 years ago.

According to the latest report, in a new turn of events, Wimbledon authorities, who used to have postal ballots for decades, now turned to email where they invited the fans to show their interest in the next year’s balloting.

“Applications for the Wimbledon Public Ballot will be accepted during a 15-day period from today, Tuesday 26 September, until 23.59 BST on Tuesday 10 October. All prospective applicants must register for a free myWIMBLEDON account in order to be eligible to enter the Ballot,” read the email.

Not surprisingly, there has been a great response to that invitation. The initiative is also in line with the authorities’ effort to digitise the Wimbledon ticketing in order to ensure that the tickets cannot be transferred to other people.

The report further stated that the successful candidates in the balloting will be informed in November about the result.
