Hi

I know its against the Wimbledon rules but has anyone done this? I won them in the ballot after trying to get them for my Mum for the last 5 years but she now cant make it.

Cheers

I might be interested if you're looking to sell at face value?

Any touting here will result in a ban, just so we're clear. Not that I'm suggesting you are.

Cheers but I was more thinking about do they do checks etc. Thinking of giving one to a friend and their friend to pay for the other one.

Reselling tennis tickets isn't illegal (just against organisers' rules).

Oh I'm not suggesting it is, just it's not the done thing on NSC, as I'm sure you know.

Fair few tickets on Viagogo at inflated prices so take from that what you will.

Also bear in mind people hang around outside the courts to use your tickets if you've finished with them...

I think they are all debenture tickets which are allowed to be sold on but normal ticket aren't.

Debenture tickets are re-sellable those won in the ballot are not debenture tickets.

Officially you cannot re-sell ballot tickets as every ticket is non-transferrable (unless within the same household). They can check at the gates and with the heightened security this year they might be more rigorous than in the past. That said my wife and daughter go most years and I don't think they have ever had to prove who they are to get in.
