The Championships 2024 celebrates 10 years of the Wimbledon.
The 137th edition of The Championships has concluded and achieved an array of milestones, including more than two billion impressions on social media.
This year’s Championships saw more than half a million people welcomed to Wimbledon, with 526,455 guests passing through the gates across the Fortnight, including a new record attendance on Day 12.
Mirroring the unprecedented demand for tickets through this year’s Public Ballot, there was strong interest in on-the-day tickets via the Queue, despite the persistent wet weather. New for this year, the Queue Village was particularly popular with its food and drink offering, live tennis on a big screen and activities from our Official Partners. Tens of thousands of guests purchased tickets on the day, with a Grounds Pass costing just £30 for the first eight days of play, reducing to £25 for days nine to 11, and £20 for the last three days.
The BBC’s coverage of Wimbledon was streamed more than 50 million times on BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport online. On BBC One, a peak audience of 7.5 million tuned in to watch Carlos Alcaraz defend his gentlemen’s singles crown.
US audiences showed their enthusiasm for The Championships once more with a cumulative reach of more than 26 million viewers, the highest number since 2019. ESPN’s coverage of the ladies’ singles final attracted a 40 per cent increase in viewers on 2023.
The Hill in New York, Wimbledon’s iconic US event, returned for a third year for finals weekend in a new, enhanced and larger location by Brooklyn Bridge, with 6,735 attendees experiencing a taste of Wimbledon state side.
Wimbledon’s social media following increased by 20 per cent on last year – bringing the total following to over 20 million. Social posts across the grass court season, and The Championships, achieved more than two billion impressions, a 19 per cent increase on 2023.
