Thanks to u/bort__simpson_ for flagging that the LTA has opened their main ballots for Wimbledon 2026. LTA Advantage Wimbledon Ballot open for 2026 To keep the sub tidy, please keep your questions, observations, useful info, successes, failures, rants and anything else related to the Wimbledon 2026 LTA Advantage Wimbledon Ballot here. New posts created that should go here will be removed. We will keep this megathread pinned in Community Highlights at the top of the sub and in the Community Bookmarks. This post will be a WIP and will be edited to highlight information as needed. At some point, most it will move to a separate page, which will be linked to instead. Apologies to mobile users. You will need to do some scrolling for now to get to the comments. --- The LTA Advantage Wimbledon Ballot opt-in period opened on Monday July 21, 2025 and will close on Sunday August 31, 2025 at 23:59. If you're already an LTA Advantage member, you should receive an email. The bulk emails are staggered, so if you haven't received anything yet don't panic (but do check your notification settings in your LTA Advantage account and add [info@lta.org.uk](mailto:info@lta.org.uk) to your safe list). If eligible, you should still be able to opt-in by going to My Benefits in your LTA Advantage account. Eligibility To have a valid LTA Advantage membership, you must use a UK address. This can be a work or family address [confirmed by the LTA] You must have an eligible LTA Advantage membership. Play+ (13+ for Junior Play+); or Compete (13+ for Junior Compete); or Fan+ The ballot is completely separate from the Wimbledon Public Ballot. If you're successful and buy tickets, you will still be eligible to buy tickets through the Wimbledon Public Ballot and Amex Last Minute Tickets sale, any other advance sales, or The Queue. If you're not an LTA Advantage member yet, or don't have an eligible membership, you can still sign up and/or upgrade before the opt in window closes. Multiple Ballots You will only be entered once even if you hold more than one eligible LTA Advantage membership category (eg Play+ and Fan+) You can enter other LTA ballots you are eligible for (Accessible Seating Ballot, Coaches Ballot, Volunteer Ballot, etc). Potential Issues If you have Play+ membership through a club/league and leave, and they process your removal before the end of the opt-in, you become ineligible unless you have another valid LTA membership If your club/league doesn't renew their venue registration before the opt-in deadline, your Play+ membership will be downgraded If your Compete+/Fan+ expires before the opt-in deadline and you don't renew/payment fails, you become ineligible unless you have another valid membership If you're flagged for breaking terms and conditions, your entry will be rejected even if the system allows you to opt-in If you are successful and miss your deadline to buy tickets, you will not receive a further offer to buy tickets through the LTA Advantage Wimbledon Ballot this year. Accessible Tickets If you need a wheelchair space (and companion seat), or ease of access (aisle) seat, you need to select the option when you opt-in. It must be you requiring the space or aisle seat rather than your guest. This usually can't be changed once the opt-in period ends. If you forget to do it and the window is still open, send an enquiry through the LTA website requesting the status be changed on your entry. There is also a separate accessible seating ballot. Balloting The ballot process will begin on Monday November 24, 2025 and usually runs through March. If successful, you'll receive an email with a link, date and time to buy a pair of tickets for you and a guest (who does not have to be an LTA Advantage member) for a day and court of your choice (if available). You'll need a myWimbledon account if you don't already have one.   submitted by   /u/mgbrewhard [link]   [comments]
