Wimbledon tickets available for the 1st. Just trying to sort out travel!
Centre or number 1. Big difference in the amount of tennis seen yesterday. It doesn't specify. Just classes it by "grade" |

Have you actually tried to buy them? Because often they look like they are available and then when you got to checkout they are not available. Dont book travel before ensuring you have the tickets. |

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

Thousands of over exicted spectators making a racket just before our competitors compete isn't helpful
(reference Synch diving)
STFU until afterwards. Definitely seemed like they felt pressure before dives 4 and 5

Meh. Can't have it all ways. Either you have an enthusiastic crowd or you don't. Doubt more than 10% have any clue about diving, and they are just there to cheer the nice Tom Daley. Sure Daley would prefer diving in front of a full house that makes a bit of noise than loads of empty seats. |

Lots of scam sites around. I've been hunting tickets for about a year and never seen that site before. Not saying it's definitely a scam, but be careful. |

A lot of empty seats on Centre Court at Wimbledon today.
Was at Wimbledon on Saturday. Completely different crowd to normal Wimbledon. Loads of families and young children. One thing missing is the "returns box". It's a long day for kids up 12.. and naturally alot of families will leave early. Nowhere to leave your ticket so someone with a ground pass can go to a show court. Was there on Saturday too, have never been to normal Wimbledon. Atmosphere was great, especially for the Murray/Murray game and was easy enough to get onto court 2 around 15 minutes before it started. As my mate said, it was a bit like a day out with some tennis thrown in. Easy to get to, well organised and getting through security was a doddle <5mins. No trouble on transport to and from venue. Agree about the returns box, there were plenty of empty seats for all matches on court 1. |

I've long thought this - the home crowd has been described in the media as universally a good thing, when it almost certainly isn't. Competitors in plenty of sports are merely trying to replicate their training form on the day - not to choke. They train in front of no one, making no noise, so a noisy crowd is different, and different is not good. |

I'm sure I heard one of the comentators earlier saying that they (possibly for the diving) practiced in front of people. Also, I know it's the Olympics and it doesn't get bigger, but these guys go to competitions all the time, they're used to crowds. I bet they're pretty focused when they're about to take their turn.
