Free Fan Movement: What you need to know ahead of the grass court season
• 1 MINUTE READ
New for 2025 – the ATP and WTA are introducing a new approach to Free Fan Movement across all their tour events around the world.
Along with all other events our grass court events need to follow these tour rules – so here is what you need to know:
Free Fan Movement gives you the freedom to enjoy the tennis with greater access in and out of certain areas of the stands while matches are being played.
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.
Every seat will have a coloured sticker on to help you identify which zone you’re in. There will also be signs and further information around the grounds on the day to explain what this means and when you can move in and out of the stadium.
Please be considerate of other fans when moving around the stadium and keep disruption to a minimum.
If you’re unsure of what area you are in, or what the rules are, you can also ask any of our event Stewards and Volunteers, who will be on hand to help you.
