Wimbledon ballot - another Oasis style balls up?

springbabydays · 2024-09-03T11:02:07+00:00

Pun intended! I'm having a mare getting into this and wondered how others are getting on. It got to the point of wanting to verify my email but no verification email came through. This was after several attempts of waiting in line with it counting down..... It's all depressingly familiar but surely it can't be as bad as last weekend? I've never tried to get on the ballot before so unsure if this is usual.

If not then you can still get standby tickets or less busy day tickets sometimes

MikeWozniaksMohawk · 24/10/2024 07:16

If you aren’t successful they notify you when the ballot has completely finished but that is in spring. It’s quite a long process, not all in one go.

It's very easy and the same every year. Yabu. Friend heard so she got tickets. You don't hear unless you successful from previous experience.

Nope nothing here!

MissRachelismycoparent · 20/10/2024 19:41

Anyone heard anything yet?

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 11/10/2024 20:40

Based on my recent years of trying, you don't get notified if you're unsuccessful

Nothing here yet @namechangeformeeee but do we hear either way? Or only if successful?

Afternoon! Has anyone heard anything yet? I know it said October xx

Shoxfordian · 04/09/2024 06:41

Yep, just did mine and it was easy - good luck all

Sarahm07 · 04/09/2024 05:33

You are right, just did mine and it went through 😁

I've just tried again and it finally worked. So the secret was to try at an ungodly hour 😅Thanks all for helping me along. Bit stressful, I prefer when codes come through by text rather than email - so unreliable!

Anyway, good luck everyone.

I have been having exactly the same, then 10 emails came at once 8 hours after it was requested, that's no good as you only have 10 minutes, have tried again today but still haven't received emails from this morning!!!! I'm fuming 😤

Thank you, I just checked and mine have all finally come through too, at about 2am which is of course useless, as you say.

Why is it verifying some of us and not others?

The reason I pre registered was to make it easier but it's not easy at all.

There is no advantage in applying early, so just log in when it’s not so busy. There’s no comparison between the Wimbledon ballot and the Oasis ticket sale.

Kitkat1523 · 03/09/2024 21:02

Just done it..,,didn’t have to verify anything….just confirmed my details and agreed to t&c and clicked submit….my application confirmation email came straight through

Sorry to sound smug but you have asked. I couldnt get through until yesterday evening. Then waited 15 mins in waiting room and then just entered ballot. Was not difficult.
Not sure why verifying email sent. Are you already a member or a new one ? You have till sept 15th to enter anyway

This is why I'm worried because I'm also pre registered, and if I can't be verified now, why would things be different in a few days, or a week?

DreamW3aver · 03/09/2024 16:24

I did it this morning, took a few minutes in the waiting bit then a minute once I got through. I didn't need any verifications but my laptop has my account details stored so goes straight in

Mainoo72 · 03/09/2024 16:24

I don’t understand the stress. It closes on the 16th. What’s the hurry?

You don't need to get stressed about this. The ballot doesn't close until 16th September. You have plenty of time to contact them if necessary and get it resolved.

Did you manage to log in and apply for the ballot? You should have had a message on the screen saying something along the lines of 'entry confirmed'?

If you need to contact them, go on to Wimbledon website and click three lines in left hand side and then click 'contact'.

Nope couldn't even get to that point. I'll try my best to contact them.

Worked fine for me yesterday evening

Humdingerydoo · 03/09/2024 13:35

I can't verify my account either. The 'click here' thing isn't actually clickable 🤦🏻‍♀️

LlynTegid · 03/09/2024 13:10

The comparison with Oasis tickets is unfair. Unfortunate difficulties you have had but as noted, closing date is not today.

Ballots are the better way, not just for Wimbledon.

Airdustmoon · 03/09/2024 13:04

I did it this morning with no issues. Have you tried just signing up with a new email address?

I’ve entered the ballot every single year for the last 10 years or so and never once got tickets!!

Keep trying. I entered 14 years in a row with no success then got tickets for last 3 years. Good luck!
