The QUEUE..... Wimbledon reserves seats for the main courts as well as general grounds admission for sale on the day (these tickets are highly sought after as it is difficult to reserve tickets as you need to win a lottery etc) To get tickets on the day however you need to wait in a massive queue (long line to the American blog followers) and many camp out over night for a center court ticket. Gates open at 10 am we arrived at 730 am and we were numbers 7817 and 7818 in the queue!!!!!! They even hand out an instruction book on how to wait in the queue called "The Guide to Queueing"...only the British

It was a great day out so we hung out read our books, ate our snacks, and after 5 hours in line were inside Wimbledon :o)

Once we were inside we had an afternoon filled with championship tennis. We enjoyed the traditional treat of strawberries and cream too :o)
