Wimbledon 2009

They say Wimbledon is probably the last major sporting event on the calender year where you can get grandstand seats at the door. It is recommended to camp overnight if you want to get your chance of Centre Court tickets. I did try and persuade Trent to go at 2am but he refused because he needed his beauty sleep! We heard all the stories about people lining up for hours so we decided to get up early @ 7.30am (early enough for a Saturday morning) and made our way to the courts. By the time we got there, we got our queue card, our number was ... 12637 and 12638, which equates to waiting in line for 7 whole hours!!!! Not to mention we both sizzled like a sauage...

By the time we got to the door it was 5.45pm and we made another dash for the re-sale ticket line (yes, more lining up) and we got ourselves Court 1 tickets for £5 each, not bad when it cost £55 at the door. We just made the start of Gonzalez vs Ferrero match, very entertaining and fantastic atmosphere. Unfortunetly missed out on strawberries & cream..boohooo
