New for 2025 – the ATP and WTA are introducing a new approach to Free Fan Movement across all their tour events around the world.

Depending on where you’re sat, you will have either Free, Limited or Restricted movement during matches to enter and leave the stadium.

There are three zones of movement – Green, Orange and Red – which indicate when you can move from and to your seat:

• Green (Free movement):No restrictions. You can move at any time during a match. However please be considerate of other fans, especially when passing in front of people sat on your row.
• Orange (Limited movement):You can only move after each game (including after the first game of a set and before a tie break). Please be considerate of other fans, including when you enter and leave the stands.
• Red (Restricted movement):You can only move at a change of ends or set breaks. This is the same approach that has been used across the whole stadium in previous years.

Unfortunately there is no left luggage facility on site.

You may not bring a bag larger than 16” x 12” x 12” (40cm x 30cm x 30cm) into the grounds. For your safety, all bags are subject to inspection by our security team and are brought to the tournament at the owner’s risk.

If there is less than 60 non-consecutive minutes’ play on the court the ticket holder’s ticket gives access to (Centre Court if a Centre Court Ticket, or, in the case of a Ground Admission, the applicable “Show Courts”) with play occurring at the same time on different courts only being counted once, you may claim a refund to the full face value of the ticket in the form of credit to your LTA Ticketing Account (unless you notify the LTA otherwise).

Please note, play occurring at the same time on different courts is only counted once towards the total minutes.

For example, if both courts 2 and 4 had 20 minutes worth of a match going on from 12:00 - 12:20, this would only count as 20 minutes.

Whereas, if court 2 had 20 minutes of a match from 12:00 - 12:20, and then court 4 had 20 minutes of a match from 12:30 - 12:50, this would count as 40 minutes.

This credit will remain on your LTA Ticketing Account for a period of up to 3 years from the date of the refund and may be used towards payment from any future purchase of tickets to LTA events.
