In the second week these players are joined by Junior, Veteran and Wheelchair competitors, playing in their own events on The Championships’ lawns.This guide is aimed at assisting you with your plans for visiting The Championships. Our priority is the safety and comfort of all those attending The Championships, and we would therefore ask you to pay particular attention to the Visiting The Championships, Security and Conditions of Entry to the Grounds sections.We have also included a map of the Grounds highlighting the location of courts and facilities. Information points are also shown, which are there to provide further guidance and advice once you arrive.

YOUR TICKETS We hope you enjoy your day at The Championships. Please pay special attention to the ticket conditions below, as restrictions are strictly enforced.Please do not post pictures of your tickets on social networking sites. People may use the details of your tickets and offer them for sale online to defraud/attempt to defraud third parties into buying them. This may result in ticket holders encountering difficulties when visiting Wimbledon.

TICKET CONDITIONS Your attention is drawn to the following extract from the AELTC’s ‘Conditions of Sale’: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 AELTC 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 AELTC from time to time and the AELTC 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 website 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 AELTC at all times.

CANCELLATION OF PLAY Details of the Raincheck policy introduced in 2001 are as follows and apply to all 13 scheduled days of The Championships, including the final Sunday:i If there is less than one hour’s play because of rain on the court

for which tickets have been bought, the original purchasers of the tickets for that court on that day will be refunded with the amount which they paid for those tickets — the maximum refund payable will be the face value of the tickets for the day concerned.

ii Purchasers of Grounds Passes at the turnstiles (except those purchased after 5pm) will be eligible for a full refund if, due to rain, the average amount of play on those courts accessible with a Grounds Pass and for which play was originally scheduled is less than one hour.

iii If there is more than one hour’s play, but less than two hours’ play, refunds will be limited to half the amount paid.

iv The Referee’s decision on how much play has taken place will be final.

v Only the original purchasers are eligible for refunds under this policy. Refunds will be paid out automatically for tickets bought in advance, but tickets bought at the turnstiles (prior to 5pm only) should be returned without delay to: The Ticket Office, AELTC, “Raincheck”, PO Box 98, London SW19 5AE.

vi In view of the numbers that could be involved, please do not call at the AELTC’s Ticket Office or telephone the AELTC.

vii Tickets purchased at the Ticket Resale kiosk are not covered by this policy as the monies are passed to charity.

viii Separate terms and conditions apply a) to Debenture Holders as notified by The All England Lawn Tennis Ground plc and b) to any extra days of play.

76


IMPORTANT NOTE:Refunds are calculated as defined on page 7 and using the Referee’s record of how much play has taken place on any given day. It is this official figure which determines whether or not customers are entitled to refunds, rather than the amount of play which an individual spectator may have seen.In the event of any curtailment or cancellation of play, due to any cause (other than negligence of the AELTC) other than rain, it is regretted that no refund of money can be made.

ACCESSIBILITY We endeavour to provide a high standard of accessible facilities for visitors and spectators with a disability. If you have any comments or suggestions for further improvement please write to the Chief Executive at the following address: AELTC, Church Road, London SW19 5AE.

BABES IN ARMS AND CHILDREN UNDER 5 YEARS • We recommend that babes in arms and pushchairs are not

brought to The Championships as the Grounds are large and crowded

• A ticket is not required for those under 5• Babes in arms and children under 5 are not allowed into the

Show Courts (Centre, No.1, No.2 & No.3 Courts and Courts 12 & 18)

• A limited number of baby changing facilities are available but there are no facilities for mothers to ‘express’ milk.

CHILDREN • Children under the age of 16 must attend with an adult and be

Tickets are also sold through The Lawn Tennis Association to British Tennis Membership, schools and foreign tennis associations. Despite increasing pressure to the contrary, it is our policy to retain a significant number of tickets for the general public including an allocation of tickets for sale on the day.

VISITING THE CHAMPIONSHIPS We hope that everyone who visits The Championships will have a memorable experience. Here are some hints and tips for making the most of your day out:

BEFORE YOU LEAVE HOME • Come prepared for all weather conditions, whether hot or cold,

wet or dry• Wear appropriate footwear (flip flops and high heels are not

recommended)• If you need to bring a bag select one that measures no more

than 16” x 12” x 12” (40cm x 30cm x 30cm) and has as few compartments as possible. Wheeled bags are strongly discouraged

• Please avoid packing any of the ‘Prohibited Items’ illustrated on page 35 – they will not be allowed into the Grounds

• The AELTC has worked together with Disabled-Go to deliver bespoke access guides for those attending Centre or No.1 Courts. These cover access to the Grounds, the courts and all associated facilities and can be found at disabledgo.com

• Allow good time to reach the All England Club – local roads and transport networks will be congested and security measures are in place prior to entering the Grounds

• If you face challenges/difficulties in negotiating distances or hilly ground, it may be easier for you to bring a wheelchair (please note that neither the AELTC nor St John Ambulance provides these for visitors)

• Visitors with special dietary requirements are advised that they should bring with them what they need to eat and drink throughout the day. However, a selection of gluten-free products is available in the Aorangi Food Court, the Conservatory Kitchen, and Café Pergola

• If you intend to bring alcohol, do not bring bottles of spirits and please note the strict limits set out within the Conditions of Entry on page 37.

AROUND THE GROUNDS • Do not buy tickets from touts or any other unauthorised source –

they will not gain you entry. Tickets are checked at all entry gates• Do not leave items unattended at any time• Allow good time to reach your seat or destination within the

Grounds – do not rush through crowded areas• Take care when negotiating stairways inside and outside the

stadia. In common with most other sports and entertainment venues, there are no supporting rails in tiered sections of the stands.

AROUND THE COURTS • A lift is available in the south west corner of Centre Court in order

to avoid the St Mary’s Walk steps. Please speak to stewards at doorways at the top and bottom of the steps for assistance.

• Switch off mobile phones, tablets and other communications devices in the stands and around the courts, and keep any camera flashes suppressed

• In common with many other major sports and entertainment events, The Championships will not allow ‘selfie sticks’ into the Grounds

• Enter or leave a stand only at a change of ends and never during a tie-break

• Do not make a noise during a rally• Never applaud a net cord or double fault• Smoking, which includes e-cigarettes, is forbidden within the

stands of any court and in all areas covered by legislation • Smoking is permitted in open areas with the exception of within

queues and the Aorangi Terrace (including the Orchard)• Drinks can only be consumed from plastic or cardboard cups• Babes in arms and children under 5 are not permitted in any

Show Court.

TRAVELLING TO THE CHAMPIONSHIPS We would strongly recommend that you plan your journey in advance, taking into account that roads and public transport servicing The Championships will be heavily congested, and extra time may be needed to complete your journey.

SOUTHFIELDS As last year, there will be no Southfields bus shuttle service in 2015. This supports our aim of reducing traffic congestion along Wimbledon Park Road to create a more pleasant arrival experience at The Championships.An Accessibility Shuttle will remain available from Southfields for those who might experience difficulty in walking to the Grounds.Walking times are approximately as follows:• 5 minutes to the entrance of Wimbledon Park where The Queue

is located• 15 minutes to the Grounds (Gate 1).
