Tennis is a vintage sport that has been played since the 19th century. It originated in England and one of the oldest, most esteemed tournaments to be played as part of this sport is the Wimbledon Championships. It is played on the traditional grass courts and has been in existence since 1877. 

Wimbledon is a magnanimous event as fans from all over the world flock to attend it over the course of a fortnight. There are many peculiar aspects of this tournament and one in particular that stands out is the ticketing system and its pricing. At Wimbledon, a unique system of issuing tickets by a public ballot is followed.

This is held at the beginning of the year and has been a constant practice since 1924. However, due to the ongoing war with coronavirus, the usual method has been scrapped. This year, the tickets have been issued online and have been made available from mid-June.
