Chances of getting a ticket for Murray v Nadal?
Permalink  

Okay, I haven't posted in this forum in a long while, and this may not be the best place to ask about this, but anyway, here goes...

In a few minutes time it'll be the day of my 21st birthday, I was going to spend time with my family, but instead, think I may fly down to London instead.  I've done a little research with regards to camping outside the grounds for the next day's play.  There are about 500 tickets reserved at the turnstiles for Centre Court play. 

Arriving tomorrow evening, do you think I'd be likely to be able to get a ticket for the highly anticipated match?

Hard to say, though I would have thought you might be able to if it's fairly early evening.

You could also try for one of the tickets in the new back section of centre that will go on sale on ticketmaster.co.uk at 8.30 pm tomorrow.

Bear in mind too that the current forecast for Wednesday is heavy rain.

That forecast of heavy rain is worrying, I'd be gutted if I missed out as a result of rain on a summer's day... roll on the retractable roof!

Anyway, does anyone have any idea how good the tickets for sale on the day of play are, I haven't been able to find any information regarding this.

I remember someone telling me they're good tickets. A number of rows towards the front down one side of the court I believe

Yes, they keep the ones in the front courtside section for queuers I think - that's why you always used to get all the crazy hats and stuff down the front!

If you watch the highlights of the Murray-Gasquet match, you'll probably see them showing groups of people with yellow wristbands on a few times - those will be the people who queued.

Wow, if it weren't for the weather forecast, I'd probably be booking the flight instead of typing this, I'm going to have to do some more research into the finer details, and then if I reckon the only thing that could spoil it is rain, then so be it.

That's my flight from Glasgow to Luton Airport booked, the plane leaves in about 8 hours (13:20)

If I do get in to Centre on Wednesday, and the rain doesn't keep Murray off, I'll share my pictures and videos on here.

My Wimbledon ticket was in row ZA at one end of the court. Despite being near the back, I had an excellent view of the court that didn't involve turning my head from side to side and would be very happy to sit there for any match.

If you don't get a ticket, Henman Hill should be pretty good too, unless it's wet and then it won't matter where you are as long as it's under cover. Good luck with the ticket and have a great day.

I think yo might have left it too late. We arrived at about 4:15 pm on sunday afternoon, and were too late to get a centre court ticket for the monday. Although that was at the week-end, so it was busier than normal, I can see it being just as busy for Murray v Nadal.

I'm number 300 in the queue, so I will see Murray v Nadal tomorrow! Barring the rain spoiling things.
