Wimbledon raises ticket prices to record-breaking figure

Despite raking in an exorbitant profit during this year's event, Wimbledon organizers are set to increase ticket prices to astounding new heights for subsequent events.

The All England Club sold an impressive 2,520 debentures of guaranteed Centre Court tickets for every year between 2026 and 2030 earlier this year, with each going at £116,000. The total sum raised was £292million, but Wimbledon tournament organizers are keen on raking in even more cash by raising the price of the most expensive singles final ticket to £315. This is an increase of £40 from last year's singles final price.

Ticket price hikes also applied to opening day matches

Standard Centre Court seats on the opening day have been raised from £90 to £105, while grounds passes for the outside courts are still £30 each for the first eight days.

"Very careful consideration is given when setting ticket prices for the Championships, with the greatest price increase applied to premium seats on Centre Court and No 1 Court," said a Wimbledon spokesperson. "Twenty per cent of all tickets have had prices frozen at 2024 levels, including grounds passes.
"The Wimbledon public ballot for the Championships 2025 closed last week, and we were very pleased to receive a record number of applications, including strong interest from fans in the US, Italy, Ireland and Germany."
