I have bought wimbledon ticket from another fella who cant make it. Will i be able to use it?

Question

Reason being i heard that wimbledon tennis tickets are valid only for the person who bought directly from the ajency or from the office. Any tickets bought from outside are not valid. Is that so?

Answer 1

Give the folks at the All England Club a call and ask them. Be sure to leave them your name and phone number so they can call you back to confirm.

Answer 2

If you are scared to try to use it, please send it to me and I will try to use it.  Then, I will tell you later... no offense!

Answer 3

Below are the Conditions of Sale for Tickets from the official Wimbledon Site and it would appear that tickets sold to another person are void. However, in article 2 below it states that the provision of a ticket 'without payment' does not contravene article 1.

   1. Tickets shall not be resold or transferred (save as mentioned in (2) below) and shall not be purchased or obtained from or through any person, commercial agent, company or otherwise than directly by the applicant from the Club or its authorised agent. Any tickets advertised for sale will be void.

   2. If more than one ticket is issued to an applicant those tickets may be used only by the applicant and the person intending to accompany that applicant to and at The Championships.  The provision of such ticket by an applicant to such person without payment shall not contravene (1) above.

   3. Tickets are issued subject to Conditions of Entry established by the Club from time to time and the Club shall be entitled to refuse admission to any ticket holder in reasonable circumstances and shall give written reasons if requested. A copy of the full Conditions of Entry currently in force is available on the Official Web Site of The Championships and is also available on application.

   4. Any ticket obtained in breach of these Conditions shall be void and all rights conferred or evidenced by such ticket shall be nullified. Any person seeking to use a ticket obtained in breach of these Conditions in order to gain or provide entry to or remain at The Championships will be a trespasser and will be ejected and liable to legal action.

   5. Tickets remain the property of the Club at all times.
