Wimbledon ticket ballot info
You should recently have received an email from the LTA asking you to ‘opt in’ to the Wimbledon Ticket ballot if you wish to be considered for Wimbledon tickets next Summer. You also need to check that you are linked to Cranleigh LT&SC – not Cranleigh in Surrey for instance or anywhere else in the country. PLEASE OPT IN TO THE BALLOT via the LTA website – EVEN IF YOU DON’T WANT A TICKET AS IT AFFECTS OUR ALLOCATION OF TICKETS. It doesn’t mean you have to buy a ticket if you don’t want to. It is good for the Club to have as many British Tennis Members as possible, as we then get a higher allocation of tickets, so please encourage your friends to sign up and link themselves to Cranleigh. Our LTA Club Code is -SUR 036. If in doubt, please ask for help – or speak to Grant…
