From what I saw last year- the resale line really just is not a good option. It tends to be freakishly long even early on- AND remains real long even in the early evening. We didn't even think about trying this route- no way in hell were we going to sit around and at best watch the big TV screen when great live tennis is going on all over the place. Queuing really is your best option. Plan B queuing that we found is, if you go around 4 p.m. or later, the line is quite shorter in general, and you can see remaining same day matches this way.

One other thing to note- once you can find a seat at your court of preference- especially with the more popular matches at outside courts- while they sometimes let you run to the washroom up to a certain time before the first match begins- after that point, if you leave your seat, it's gone. They will not let you save seats.

AND- if what Tina posted about Ticketmaster UK is true- that will truly suck- 'cause last year you could try getting tickets for the next day starting at 8 p.m the day before- and we got Center Court tickets for the women's QF this way- we got to see Serena/Li Na or Na Li. Will have to review how Ticketmaster UK is working REAL carefully ASAP.

In any case- Wimbledon is an experience of a lifetime.
