I've got tickets for Court 1 on Thursday (not the greatest day for an awesome lineup but oh well|)

Anyone got any advice on what time to turn up etc? I assume there's quite a queue to get in? And if we wanted to sit on the hill at any point that gets busy quickly? Do people pick a spot and stay there all day?

Don't want to get up super early if there's no point, but equally don't want to find ourselves not getting in until 2pm because we got there too late.

I haven't been for a few years, but there are no queues if you have a ticket.

At least there wasn't for me in the 15 years or so that I regularly attended - but I haven't been for a decade, so someone might correct me.

I'd get there for 10am, you should be in for 10.30.

Ok great thanks, I was hoping around 10 would be a sensible idea.

Do double check and maybe someone else on here might comment.

I used to do the full second week as my company was a sponsor. The ground pass got you straight in and I never found any queues in 15 years of doing it. But systems change, there might be some new way of doing it. Although I doubt it.

To be fair, I'm not overly bothered if we do get delayed getting in, I think we're in line for mixed doubles, and wheelchair doubles on court 1, so not like I'll be missing Norrie etc
