Tennis tickets, as well as for many other sports, at any venue are expensive primarily due to the limited number of seats (i.e., supply versus demand), along with the amount of money given to players (or, for college athletics, the amount given to the schools), which comes, in part, from "gate" revenues. Wimbledon is a special case in that Centre Court has very few seats (15,000) compared to almost any other sports venue, to the point that a certain number of tickets are sold as 'debentures' on the London (Stock) Market at very hefty prices.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
