Tennis
Tennis and Wimbledon are synonymous, but queues and exorbitant prices can turn this dream event into more of a hassle than pleasure.
If you want Centre Court or Court 1 seats, you'll need to apply at least six months in advance to the All England Lawn Tennis Club.
Seats are allocated by ballot. Otherwise you can get there early and queue on the day (the more obsessive camp out overnight!) to watch play on the outside courts.
Pre-Wimbledon tournaments, featuring most of the stars on the men's circuit, can be enjoyed at Queen's Club.
