How much did Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma pay for Wimbledon tickets? Check out ticket prices and how to buy
While VIP invitations grant complimentary entry, regular fans face a range of ticket prices and buying methods that can test both patience and budget. Here's everything you need to know about what the Kohli-Sharmas skipped and what you shouldn't miss.
Royal Box access: A complimentary affair
According to DNA, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma were seated in the Royal Box, where entry, lunch and refreshments come at no cost. VIP invitations are issued by the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) to celebrities, royalty, and top athletes.
Guests there enjoy the best views of Centre Court and shared hospitality lounges. Last seen together at Wimbledon in 2015, the couple once more benefited from courtesy passes, proof that some seats remain beyond the public price lists.
Public ticket prices and seating options
For the rest of us, tickets for men's singles and doubles matches come with sticker shock. Per the Wimbledon website, Centre Court tickets in the second week range from 150 to 315 euros (approx. INR 15,066 to 31,639) for those successful in the public ballot.
Debenture seats
Debenture seats, which include guaranteed access and VIP perks, spanned 1,870 to 8,000 euros (approx. INR 1,87,830 to 8,03,552) from July 9 to 13, according to GOAL. For the men's singles final on Sunday, July 13, standard ballot winners paid between 240 and 315 euros (approx. INR 24,106 to 31,639), while debenture holders shelled out upward of 8,995 euros (approx. INR 9,03,493).
Resale tickets
Court 1 debentures for quarter- and semi-finals cost between 670 and 1,855 euros (approx. INR 67,297 to 1,86,323) on July 9 and 10. Prices on resale platforms such as StubHub can jump well above face value—often starting around 2,000 euros (approx. INR 24,106 to 31,639) for Centre Court.
How to buy Wimbledon tickets
Securing a seat takes strategy. Public ballots open early in the year, and application deadlines close months before play begins. Successful applicants receive an alert by email and can buy directly from the AELTC website.
On-the-day queues (often referred to simply as The Queue) are another route: ground passes grant entry to The Hill and Courts No. 3-18 but exclude Centre Court. Debentures are available through official partners or accredited resale sites. For last-minute grabs, StubHub remains a trusted marketplace.
Create an account, search 'Wimbledon 2025,' apply filters for match and date, then purchase. Delivery options vary; electronic tickets arrive instantly, while postal delivery can take up to two weeks.
Insider tips for first-time attendees
First-timers should arrive at the venue early to beat security lines. They can also download the AELTC app for live court schedules and digital tickets. Packing a refillable water bottle will also come in handy, as Wimbledon offers free stations.
Finally, stay flexible: rain delays are common, and Centre Court play can shift by hours. Whether you score a gratis royal invitation like the Kohli-Sharmas or fight the ballot system, a day at Wimbledon remains priceless.

Ruskin Bond Shares Childhood Memories With His Favourite Drink
Ruskin Bond recently took a stroll down memory lane and unveiled captivating food stories from his childhood. In a heartwarming video posted on Instagram, the eminent author revealed his fondness for strawberry milkshake. He shared how such a milky delight inspires him to work even while it's raining every day in the hills. He confessed, "I have a weakness for milkshakes, amongst other things," and went on sharing a delightful piece of memory from his childhood. "And even when I was, as a young man in London, when I was about 18, I went all the way to the Wimbledon tennis tournament, partly to see the tennis, and partly because I'd heard you could get wonderful strawberries and cream there. So I've forgotten who was playing tennis that day, but I certainly haven't forgotten the strawberries and cream. I was a greedy young fellow." Take a look at his video here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ruskin Bond (@ruskinbondofficial) Ruskin Bond added, "Well, not everybody can afford strawberry milkshakes every day. And when I was a boy, a boy of 12, 13, I couldn't either. We weren't very well off, and I only used to get about pocket money, five rupees a week." The children's book author then revealed the things he could do in 1947 with just five rupees: see at least three films, buy two paperbacks, also called crime club novels, or even three magazines, and enjoy chats and tikkis with his friend if his appetite was roused. He shared, "I could go down to the chaat shop near the clock tower in Dehradun with a couple of friends, and we'd eat tikkis and golgappas and chaat, and I think I'd have a pretty good snack for five rupees, including a friend. The author also revealed the other beverages he enjoys and reminisced about a song related to buttermilk. "Yesterday it was chanch, that was, what do you call it? Buttermilk. And there was a great song I remember when I was a boy, Buttermilk Skies. And I sing it sometimes, but I won't spoil your day by singing," the 91-year-old shares. He continues, "And chanch, strawberry milkshakes, coconut water. Coconut water is great too, very refreshing. And so all these things are there, and they're pretty good substitutes for other drinks. So, cheers. Enjoy your milkshake." "A strawberry milkshake and a good story - life's little joys never grow old," read his caption.

Emma Raducanu hires Rafael Nadal's former coach until 2025 season end
Emma Raducanu has named Francisco Roig—former long-time coach to Rafael Nadal—as her head coach through the end of the 2025 season, Daily Mail reported. The 57-year-old Spaniard brings nearly 20 years of top-level experience, having worked alongside Toni Nadal during all 22 of Nadal's Grand Slam wins, and more recently with Matteo marks Raducanu's eighth full-time coaching appointment since her 2021 breakout, signalling a renewed push for stability and technical growth. With Roig now leading her team, she aims for a strong showing in the upcoming US Open No. 33 in the world, Raducanu had been working informally with former player and broadcaster Mark Petchey since March.
