I don't mind successful people making a fortune. I'm calm about them being recognised with gongs/titles etc. I just feel that if Wimbledon have got free tickets (plus lunch, tea and drinks) to spare they should be given to people who could not otherwise afford the experience and are also valuable contributors to society and / or tennis. I rather think Cumberbatch, Hugh Grant, Beckham etc could afford debentures or corporate hospitality packages if they really wanted them.

Happy for the likes of Borg , Navratilova, Wade, Laver etc to be invited of course. They are tennis legends. I suppose sponsors also deserve a ticket or two.

Through work, DH knows someone who knows someone (deliberately vague) who is party to membership and seat allocation. Apparently it had been muted this year as a nod to Londoners 10yrs on to offer free tickets to 7/7 victims and families. However the idea was vetoed and even the minutes silence had to be discussed at length.
