Every five years Centre Court Wimbledon Debentures are sold. It is from this source that The All England Lawn Tennis Ground plc, jointly and equally owned by The All England Lawn Tennis Club and The Lawn Tennis Association, derives its funds to meet capital expenditure.
DEBENTURE TICKETS are the only Wimbledon tickets which can be transferred legally; all other tickets are issued to the original applicant and must be used by them. Debenture tickets are often advertised for sale in the UK press. If offered tickets, you should ask for the exact seat details (Day / Court / Stand / Row / Seat number) and then contact the Ticket Office for verification before purchasing the tickets. Debenture seat details are not available until late May each year. As a final check, you should ensure that the ticket has the word 'Debenture' printed on it instead of the price.
The best seats on both show courts, debentures allow their owner to view a full days play on the court in question as well as providing full access to the outside courts. In addition debenture ticket holders get access to the debenture lounge for those all important strawberries and cream.
