I have been a BTM member for quite a few years and have only had decent tickets once. They reckon you have about 1/5 in chance of getting tickets. Twice I have had tickets for Court No. 2 but after the singles matches have finished.
As a BTM member, if you don't belong to an affiliated tennis club then you enter their ballot directly. If you are a member of an affiliated tennis club, then you enter your tennis club's ballot instead. You actually stand more chance in your tennis club ballot than as a direct balloter. Although I've been a member of BTM for years, I never got tickets for Wimbly (although I've had tickets in the general draw) and only once for Queens, but since I've been a member of a tennis club I've got tickets twice. I'm thinking that I won't enter this year as it seems a bit unfair as I've had tickets two years running (men's QF and men's semis).

This is only the second year i have been a member, Didn't get anything from their ballot last year but i did get court 1 tickets from their General Sale for the final Sunday which was great cos it got me access to watch the final on Henman hill. Am deffo taking that offer up again this year.

I'm been a BTM member for many years and whilst I've been successful a few times(has always been the first week) have had more success in the Public ballot. Still it is another chance. I also try Ticketmaster for the last minute tickets though they are not that easy to come by.

Ah ive had quite a bit of luck from ticketmaster to be fair. Got court 3 on mid Saturday last year, year before centre court on day one, women's quarters and semi's. will deffo try again for more this year.

I had tickets offered in the BTM ballot last time I was at Wimbledon but as I'd already won tickets in the public ballot for the middle Saturday and my flights and hotel were all booked I had to let them go :sad:

Ah so the ticket you had from the public ballot was better anyway.

Exactly - and funny enough, my friend who came with me also won a pair of tickets in the public ballot for the middle Saturday so we took a couple of other friends along too :)

Brilliant!! Worked out well then. I like the general sale BTM do for the final weekend. That court 1 ticket for the final Sunday last year got me in to see Andy. Sat on Henman hill was a fabulous atmosphere. Even though it was the wrong result in the end still glad i was there. Definately doing it again this year. When he does finally win Wimbledon im determined to be there to see it.
I am in it via my younger brother and through the tennis club... fingers crossed

The central one is launched tommorow i think.
Not a BTM member any more. I don't play tennis and since they stopped the magazine I thought it wasn't really worth it just to be in the ballot. There is meant to be a much better cahnce than in the public ballot, but I didn't find that at all. I have been very lucky over the years with the public ballot .... but nothing the last 2 years, nor for my friend.

Anyone take advantage of the BTM General sale today? I got 2 court 1 tickets for the Final Sunday. Did this last year and it guaranteed me entry to sit on Henman Hill to watch Andy Murray in the final. Lets hope im watching him again this year. Would be a dream come true to see him lift that Wimbledon trophy.
i wanted to buy some after work but I can't seem to get past the welcome page. I fear it has been sold out for sunday too :(
