How does this ballot work?

The following counties have chosen to be part of the new, improved online system for running their Wimbledon ballots that is designed to save time and enhance the service you receive: Cumbria, Cornwall, Wiltshire, Dorset, Somerset, Middlesex; Kent and Leicestershire.

Your club/place to play will receive an allocation of Wimbledon tickets based on its number of British Tennis Members on 1st February 2012. This will be communicated via the club’s online portal.

Your place to play will receive their allocation around Feb/March via their online portal. They will inform you directly on how and when they will be running the ballot.

How do I know if I am eligible?

If you’re an Adult or Junior British Tennis Member (BTM) on our ‘affiliated scheme’ (i.e. you don’t pay for British Tennis Membership because you’re a member of a club) and linked to an LTA Registered Place to Play/Club, you will be eligible to enter into that club’s Wimbledon ticket ballot.

As long as you’re a BTM on the day of the ballot, you’ll be eligible.

How can I check if my British Tennis Membership is active?

You can check that your British Tennis Membership is still active by logging in to your secure members' area and clicking on ‘Membership Shop’. You can view your Membership Start and End Dates under ‘Current Products’.

Please note that if you are on the ‘affiliated scheme’, your British Tennis Membership will automatically renew for the following year on February 28^th 2012.

If you’re a member at a place to play and you’re NOT yet a British Tennis Member, you must sign up to BTM before your place to play runs its ballot in order to be included.

What can I do if my British Tennis Membership has lapsed?

If your membership has lapsed, you will be invited to ‘Join British Tennis’ when you log in to the LTA website. To rejoin, click on ‘Manage Account’ and then ‘Membership Shop’.

How can I check which club/place to play I’m linked to?

You can check that you’re linked to your club by logging in to your secure members’ area and clicking on ‘Manage Account’ followed by ‘Place to Play Affiliation’. Your club should be listed there.

If not, select the relevant county from the dropdown menu and this will bring up a second dropdown menu with all the LTA Registered Places to Play within that county. You will then be able to select your club from the list.

Just to be sure, you should also check that you appear on your club’s list of BTMs – your club should publish a list of its BTMs closer to the time of the ballot; otherwise you can ask your club representative to check for you.

How will I be contacted?

• We will not contact you about the running of this ballot as it is operated by your Place to Play – your initial point of contact will be your club representative.
• You won’t necessarily be automatically entered into your club’s BTM ballot for Wimbledon tickets so make sure you find out from your committee when and how the ballot is going to be run.
• If you’re successful in the ballot, your club representative will allocate your tickets using an online system and this will generate an email (or letter if we don’t have an email address for you) asking you to make your purchase. You will then have two weeks in which to buy your tickets.
• It is therefore vital that your contact information is up to date so that you don’t miss these important communications.
• Please note that post will take longer to reach you and is potentially subject to delay or loss, so it is preferable to provide an email address if you have one.
• To check or update your personal details, please log in to your secure members’ area, click on ‘Manage Account’ and make any necessary amendments, then hit ‘Save Changes’.
