Probably been to Wimbledon about 10 times, first off in 1989 when I was a nipper doing some exhibiton tennis there. But I never made it!! Like the others have said you dont need show court tickets to have a great time. Go in the first week and you will see seeded players on the outside courts. By the second week it will be mostly doubles which is great to watch and juniors. Get there early whatever day you go, but especially the first few days. I would say for the first week if you are in the queue by 6am you wont have that many people in front of you. Everyone is friendly and the time will pass quite quick. Think gates open at 10am. Bring food and a book for the Q. They now hand out passes to show your place in the queue which helps if you need the bog!! I have quite often got tickets for the show courts at the end of the day as people have handed them back. Veru good value. Or if you work/live in London go down after work and get in after 5/6pm for about a tenner. You will still get 2/3 hours of quality tennis.

When the fixtures came out at the start of the season there was a bit article on the OS about how they work out the fixtures etc etc and there was a question about why no games on New Years Day and it was to do with the FA cup falling so close to 1st Jan. Normally Fa cup is 6th 7th 8th Jan. It is a one off and there will be New Years day fixtures next year.

my girlfriend suffers form them too and suffers all of the effects above. Cant open eyes and cant leave the bed for sometimes 24 hours. Annoying thing is the people who say they have a migrane but its just a bad headache!!! Try Migralive. (spelling?) Its in a black packet and you can get it from Boots. Seems to help the missus.
