Wimbledon Ballot Tickets - seat specifics?

Hi all,

I entered the ballot for tickets to Wimbledon this year and have had a letter offering "a pair of seats on Friday 12 July for centre court" at £370 (ouch)... but there are no more details than that...

Can I find out exactly where these seats are? It seems crazy to pay that amount of money when I have no idea what seats I am getting. Perhaps there are more details when I log into the website with the PIN and ref number they give..?

Can anyone advise me on how this works?

Thanks,

    You don't find out the seats until you've paid and received the tickets. It is a risk and we've quite often had seats in row z. You still get a great view though and those are men's semi final tickets so it should be a good days play.

    Thanks for the reply. Very helpful!

    How frustrating to not know what seats they are offering before you have to pay! But yes, it should be a good day whatever the seats...

    Thanks again...
  • It is really frustrating that you are paying such a huge amount and you did not know where you will sit i think first they have to tell you the seat number than you have to pay the money. Or even i suggest them that they must have to show a "stadium seat map" to show which seat is booked and which is left.
