WELCOME
On behalf of The All England Club, may I wish you a very warm welcome to The Championships 2017.
Upon arrival to the Grounds this year, you will see we have begun the serious work of making substantial improvements to No.1 Court, the most obvious element being the removal of the existing roof, and the installation of the new steel structure. Immediately following this year’s
Championships, work will begin on installing the fixed roof for The Championships 2018, with the fully retractable roof due for completion for The Championships 2019.
You will also notice that Court 19 is no longer with us. This will open as a new public plaza for The Championships 2018, providing additional space and food and beverage options for those enjoying watching Wimbledon from Aorangi Terrace. Debenture holders have always played a vital role in the development of the Grounds over the years and I would like to thank you for your continued support.
Before then, of course, there is the small matter of this year’s Championships. It promises to be another enthralling event and I very much hope you have an enjoyable and memorable visit to Wimbledon.

GROUND OPENING & MATCHES
The Grounds are open from 10.30am daily.
• On Courts 2-18, play is provisionally scheduled to start at 11.30am for main draw matches on at least the first eight days and at 11.00am for Junior matches on the middle Saturday and during the second week
• On Centre Court, play will start at 1.00pm except on the final two days when play starts at 2.00pm
• Play on No.1 Court will start at 1.00pm on all 13 days
• No.1 COURT: The first phase of major work has commenced on the installation of a roof on No.1 Court. This means that, for The Championships 2017, there will be almost no cover for ticket holders in No.1 Court and we would ask you to bear this in mind when preparing for your visit, as the weather conditions may vary dramatically
• For the daily Order of Play please check the Official Programme or wimbledon.com
• The AELTC reserves the right to change the programme of play without notice where it is necessary to do so.

PROVISIONAL PROGRAMME OF PLAY
CHANGES TO THE ORDER OF PLAY
We do try to play all matches on the courts and days published. However, occasionally it is necessary to switch a match from one court to another. This can be for a number of reasons.
For example:
• We aim to complete The Championships on time and this involves playing 674 matches, in the 16 events, over the 13 days of the tournament
• Some players remain involved in several events towards the end of The Championships and it may be necessary to move a match to avoid a clash
• We try to give similar rest periods between matches for players due to play each other
• A match which is unlikely to finish because of a late start caused by the duration of previous matches may be postponed to the following day. In this event, another match may be substituted
• We recognise that this may be frustrating for debenture holders and we apologise for the rare occasions when circumstances necessitate a change to the published Order of Play. We hope you will appreciate why such changes sometimes are made.
PROVISIONAL PROGRAMME OF PLAY

YOUR TICKETS
Tickets are for the court specified on the date shown and entitle the holder to entrance to that court. Ticket holders have no entitlement to view any particular match or round of matches or any particular player. Matches may be moved from one court to another at the sole discretion of the AELTC.
Tickets with the word ‘Debenture’ printed on them in place of the price may be legally transferred or sold on. All other tickets are strictly non-transferable and must neither be sold nor advertised or offered for sale whether on the internet, in newspapers or elsewhere.
Please do not share or post pictures of your ticket offer or tickets on any social media platforms or websites. People may use the details and offer them for sale online to defraud/attempt to defraud third parties into buying them. This may result in ticket holders encountering difficulties when visiting Wimbledon.

TICKETS
DEBENTURE TICKETS
In the interests of safety and security, and in order to comply with licensing requirements, each debenture ticket can only be used to enter the Grounds once. Re-admission with a debenture ticket is only available with an appropriate pass-out (which is non-transferable) and debenture ticket holders cannot transfer a debenture ticket if such ticket has already been used to obtain entry to the Grounds.
TICKET RESALE KIOSK
We make every effort to ensure that seat tickets which are no longer needed are made available for resale to people already within the Grounds. Original ticket holders are requested to have the ticket barcodes scanned on leaving the Grounds so that a new ticket may be generated.
The tickets are re-sold from the Ticket Resale kiosk inside the Grounds.
The entire proceeds will be donated via the Wimbledon Foundation to charities and community organisations. The Wimbledon Foundation is the charity of the All England Lawn Tennis Club and aims to change people’s lives using the resources and heritage of the Club and The Championships.
DUPLICATE TICKETS
The loss of tickets should be reported immediately to the Ticket Office (020 8971 2739). On verification, duplicates will be issued but must be collected from the Ticket Office in person by the debenture holder on the day. Duplicate tickets once requested take priority over the original tickets. Debenture holders who request duplicate tickets may be required to assist the AELTC in connection with the use or abuse of the original tickets issued.
Please look after your tickets carefully as duplicate tickets, if arranged, will attract a charge of £12 per ticket where the originals have been safely received by the debenture holder but subsequently lost.
CANCELLATION OF PLAY DUE TO RAIN
In the event of bad weather resulting in tennis being played for less than one hour, a refund will be paid to debenture holders of the face value ticket price for that day from £56 to £190 for Centre Court debenture holders and from £45 to £98 for No.1 Court debenture holders depending on the day.
• If there is more than one hour’s play but less than two hours play, a refund will be made of half the relevant amount
• The refund will be paid out automatically 4 to 6 weeks after the last day of The Championships to all debenture holders who are entitled to a refund
• Cheques will be drawn, made payable to the registered debenture holder (as per the Debenture Register at the start of The Championships) and, in the case of joint holders, to the first named debenture holder
• Debenture holders who sell back tickets to the AELTC on the official market for any rained off day(s) will not be entitled to a refund. Debenture holders who buy additional tickets from us on the official market will, however, be entitled to the appropriate refund
• If play is arranged for any additional day(s), details will be published at the earliest opportunity on wimbledon.com and in the national press
• All debenture holders will be notified, by email, of entrance procedures, should play be scheduled for any additional day(s)
• The cancellation of play due to rain policy does not apply to tickets for any days other than the 13 scheduled days of The Championships.
