Wimbledon 2023 prices: How much tickets, strawberries and cream, Pimms and beer all cost at SW19 this year
Wimbledon is one of the most eagerly awaited happenings during the summer season, with numerous individuals eagerly anticipating a refreshing glass of sparkling beverage on the grassy grounds each year.
However, as we are aware, the financial struggle we face in meeting our daily needs has resulted in a rise in prices across the board. Therefore, can we also observe a similar impact on this longstanding tradition in Britain?
Strawberries & Cream: What's The Price?
Can you really say you've experienced Wimbledon without trying this renowned sugary treat? Strawberries and cream are just as integral to the event as rain delays. A whopping 200,000 servings are devoured annually.
Fortunately, the cost of this delectable meal has remained unchanged for 13 fruitful years, and it can be yours for a mere £2.50.
This could potentially be one of the rare deals you will come across on the website though.
Drink Prices?
This is the place where costs appear to escalate.
According to reports, purchasing a 330ml container of Stella Artois will cost an exorbitant amount of £9.70.
A single serving of Pimm's, wine, or a gin and tonic costs £9.70. However, if you choose a refillable glass of Pimm's, it will be £11.20, and if you opt for a pitcher, it will exceed £30.
A single serving of beer is now costing fans anywhere from £7.20 to £7.55, which is higher compared to the range of £6.10 to £6.50 in the previous year.
If you're opting out of consuming alcoholic beverages, a bottle of mineral water is priced at £2.65. This reflects a 45p increase from last year's cost of £2.20. Additionally, a can of Coke Zero is priced at £2.25.
If you happen to have forgotten to bring any snacks with you, and strawberries aren't your preference, you should anticipate having to shell out some money. A packet of Haribo, Skittles, or Minstrels will cost you £4.20, a sausage roll comes at a price of £4.80, and a Cornish pasty will set you back £6.30.
Getting Wimbledon Tickets: A Helpful Guide
The registration period for Wimbledon 2023 tickets has already ended, but if you stand in line, a restricted quantity of tickets are up for grabs every morning for the primary courts, along with entry passes to enter the premises.
Every day during the Championships, there are 500 available tickets for sale for Centre Court (except for the final four days), No 1 Court, and No 2 Court. With a grounds pass, you can enter Courts 3, 12, and 18, and also enjoy watching matches from Centre Court and Court 1 on a large screen at Henman Hill.
Tickets are available for purchase based on the best option, with only one ticket per person allowed in the queue. These tickets cannot be transferred to another person.
Take note that people often begin lining up for the following day's event as early as the previous night, with a significant number even choosing to camp overnight in order to secure their tickets.
The line begins at Wimbledon Park. Anyone arriving at the park during the early or late evening hours must enter through the gates on Wimbledon Park Road exclusively. The entrance on Wimbledon Park Road is just a brief stroll away from Southfields Station, taking only five minutes.
A group of skilled attendants are in charge of organizing the line and are constantly at your service, round the clock, to provide assistance and directions.
Ticket Prices: What's The Cost?
You can purchase Centre Court tickets at prices ranging from £70 to £255, depending on your preferred date of attendance. For Court 1, tickets are available within the range of £40 to £170.
The prices for Court 2 tickets range from £43 to £90, while Court 3 tickets fall between £46 and £75.
A single-day ticket typically costs £27 during most days of the tournament, although the price decreases towards the later stages of the Championships due to the reduced number of matches available for viewing.
According to the Wimbledon website, entry tickets for the grounds cost £27 at the beginning and get cheaper from day nine onwards as the tournament advances. If you join the queue by 9am, there is a fair likelihood of gaining access, but it cannot be guaranteed, of course.
The Wimbledon website provides the ticket costs for all the courts every day.
