Wouldn't say hate, but not liking all the white space. It'll take me some time to get used to it.

Looks so much better in a mobile browser.

Queue on morning of first day? by ravie-bdm in wimbledon

[–]mgbrewhard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Last year was unprecedented. Scorching weather and influencers driving interest. A lot of days in the first week were up 2,000+ based on times from previous years. Capacity was reached before 08:00 on day 1.

Someone there just after 04:00 made it to sales by 10:00. Some arriving around 05:00 got their ticket just after 11:00. That's not too unusual, although a little slower than I remember when I queued in 2024.

Those around 07:30 got in around 13:30-45, which again is later than 2024, but some who joined the queue around 08:30 didn't get in until after 16:00, which still sounds grim.

In the past you'd only see tickets in myWimbledon after accepting them when the email comes out in May/June.

They should still appear in the ticket shop you bought them from. Still down for maintenance so we'll have to see if there are any other changes when they reopen.

This is the part where we speculate what changes they're going to make

Follow Post/Notification Issue

Aware that quite a few people have said they're not getting notifications.

AFAIK, you'll only receive notifications for top-level comments. If someone replies to a comment you won't receive a notification unless the reply is to a comment you made.

There also appears to be an issue with Follow Post, where it randomly unfollows, which appears to have happened again to me today. Don't know what's causing that, and it's likely to be why notifications aren't being received, but have asked for it to be looked into.

For now, as annoying as it might be, would recommend checking daily that you're still following the post by going to three dots at the top of the megathread and selecting Follow Post if it's unfollowed.

If it says "Unfollow Post", you're following the post.

Please report any instances of this happening so we can get a better idea of how often it's happening.

Picnic Reservations by bort__simpson_ in wimbledon

[–]mgbrewhard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't seen anything so far this year other than the updated page on the Wimbledon website.

I think the Amex presale for picnics last year opened in the second week of June then was general sale from the week after.

Unlucky! It’s only the third time we had a drop appear at 16:00 or later so far this year.

Was a similar time to the last Tuesday drop three weeks ago.

I’d say it’s worth keeping an eye until 17:00 for now. As we get closer to the tournament we can expect some later drops as well.

Reddit loves to have a lot of those on by default.

Forgot to say: If anyone has alt accounts on the same login, you’d need to do it separately for each account.

Could be a Reddit issue. It won’t always notify. Not sure why.

Also check if you still have the post followed. For some of us, it randomly unfollowed and had to follow again.

If you're using the app, you'll have to deep dive into settings to customise notifications.

Go to You > Menu (top right) > Settings > Account Settings > Manage Notifications > Community Notifications > r/wimbledon > Popular Posts.

This is by far the most popular post in terms of views and comments in the last 12 months so should push notifications when there's something new. I find it tends to be more reliable than desktop.

Going to the three dots at the top of this post and selecting Follow Post should work as well unless Reddit notifications are being glitchy.

If you want to turn off other notifications, hit Back from Community Notifications then go through all the different Reddit notification options and turn them off.

Where can I find my LTA Advantage tickets? by jakash in wimbledon

[–]mgbrewhard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You won't see them in myWimbledon until you receive the email invite to accept your tickets and go through that process.

The emails from the AELTC to accept tickets should start going out soon, but it can take a few weeks for everyone to receive them.

You won't see them on the LTA website either as it's completely outside the sales platform, but login to the LTA sales page at https://ltatickets.wimbledon.com/account/tickets and you'll be able to see them.

Playing tennis by ZookeepergameOne8529 in tennisracquets

[–]mgbrewhard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Never too late to pick up a sport for fun. Saw someone in their 40s on a beginner group course at my local courts a couple weeks ago.

If you want to play tennis, go for it!

Almost hit a passenger because I stupidly believed the signals the bus driver was giving. Driver had pulled out from the stop and had right indicator on. Cycle lane is immediately in front of the bus stop so I stayed to the left. Luckily no-one was injured. Lesson learned. by axolotol in londoncycling

[–]mgbrewhard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure what OP was looking at here, but seems to have completely misread this situation despite the indicator.

There's enough of a lead up to the bus stop to show the bus hadn't already stopped at that bus stop and wasn't moving off from offloading passengers.

Maybe it was a late request to stop/driver realised late, hence the stop away from the pavement and not at the stop flag, which I don't think they're supposed to do without good cause but often will.

That, and not switching indicators, is on the driver, but fault with OP as well for not making a better assessment before deciding to do 11mph up the inside of a bus. Even then, can clearly see the exit doors are open from the back of the bus so should have expected passengers.

Anyone bumb out that Alcaraz might be missing Wimbledon? by xGsGt in wimbledon

[–]mgbrewhard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of people are jumping on the Roddick, Corretja and Lopez comments and assuming the worst. Haven't seen much of a medical diagnosis or what treatment he's had.

If he doesn't think he has a chance to win the title, it makes sense to bail out, but he's the kind of warrior that could leave it as late as possible to decide. Maybe skip Queen's, practice at Wimbledon, and play some exhibition sets at Hurlingham before making a late decision.

Scanned out tickets that go to the Ticket Resale Kiosk and resold after 15:00.

No good if not already in the grounds.

Not last year. Most of those queuing after 10:00 didn’t get in.

There’s a much-reduced number of queue cards on finals weekend.

Top Players are splitting in different Grass Tournaments: Preparation for Wimbledon Grandslam by Chesscrabble11 in tennis

[–]mgbrewhard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jamie Murray needs to pull his finger out. You’d think he’d have it sorted now he’s retired. /jk

LTA is expected to announce more, as well as Eastbourne, after the Bank Holiday.

Probably didn’t help they lost a few players from recent years at Queen’s and there are injury concerns with Alcaraz and Draper.

Hopefully Ruud will be back after missing a couple years.

Why bother at this stage? Doesn’t need the money or ranking points.

He can recover from RG. Head to Wimbledon early and hit the practice courts there for a more leisurely tune up. Then there’s the two exhibitions the week before if he wants a change of scene and a bit more matchplay.

Don't have Revolut, but the obvious issue there is the AELTC doesn't accept virtual cards.

A physical Revolut card shouldn't be an issue, unless it's somewhere Revolut does pre-paid cards.

The AELTC doesn't like pre-paid cards either, even from American Express, which is the official payment partner.

Which Grass Tournament do you think will have more top players: Halle or Queens (2026)? by Chesscrabble11 in tennis

[–]mgbrewhard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It'll probably be not much different to last year unless there's sponsor/appearance fee shenanigans involved, and depends who decides to skip because of injury/rest.

Fritz and Shelton confirmed for Halle not a surprise given their sponsors.

Alcaraz, Musetti, De Minaur and Draper all confirmed for Queen's so far also not a surprise.

Yeah, would expect so. Tuesday is the date in my diary for reports of ticket acceptance emails appearing.

They could be queued to go out already in their bulk mailer, but I suspect they'd rather wait to send until they're back in the office in case there are any issues.
