- Successful applicants receive a pair of tickets. However, if you are successful you can have only one pair of tickets per household.
- You can apply for as many dates as you wish.
- Applicants are prioritised by
- those who applied last year and were unsuccessful having highest priority; then
- those who were successful last year.
- The ballot is prioritised as above and names are then pulled out of a hat with another committee member. Any member can request to be present at the draw. The applicant is then given the best tickets available for their preferences.
- The secretary puts successful applicants’ names into the Wimbledon online system. The LTA will contact you directly for payment and will subsequently send you the tickets.
- If you decline the tickets the Braid Secretary can re-ballot the tickets to members on the reserve list. However, if you decline tickets you may lose priority the following year subject to circumstances.
