Vodafone’s summer tickets giveaway for 2024 continues, with 99 pairs of Wimbledon tickets up for grabs.

Vodafone, the Official Connectivity Partner of The Championships, Wimbledon, is giving its customers the chance to win tickets to the prestigious event for the third year running. With the Wimbledon Public Ballot now closed, Vodafone’s award-winning loyalty programme, VeryMe Rewards, is serving up 99 pairs of tickets ranging from Grounds Passes to No.1 Court, Centre Court and the gentlemen’s and ladies’ singles finals tickets.

Between 29 April and 9 June, Vodafone’s VeryMe Rewards will host three instant win competitions within the My Vodafone app. Tennis fans will be able to try their luck at winning a pair of tickets across a variety of dates, from first round matches to the finals.

VeryMe Rewards: Everything you need to know

If you’re a Vodafone UK mobile customer and not using the VeryMe Rewards programme, then you’re missing out on a treasure trove of weekly treats, offers and discounts.

The sporting event of the season will see world-class tennis stars grace the famous grass courts of SW19 once again. Winners may also have the opportunity to watch Vodafone’s very own ambassadors, Emma Raducanu, Alfie Hewett OBE, Gordon Reid OBE and Jack Draper, as they respectively compete for the title of Wimbledon Champion.

VeryMe Rewards launched in November 2018 and Vodafone customers have claimed over 160 million rewards to date. The loyalty programme offers an impressive selection of weekly offers, prize draws and giveaways from both household names and emerging small businesses.

Vodafone customers can access VeryMe Rewards through the My Vodafone app, which can be downloaded from the App Store and Google Play Store.

Ticket types are Ground Pass, No.1 Court or Centre Court.

To benefit from the free prize draw you must tap Play in VeryMe Rewards before the closing date to see if you’ve won. Each prize will be randomly allocated according to a pre-allocated algorithm. Using this method, one entry can be submitted per user.

If you’re a winner, you’ll be instantly notified in-app. On the notification message, tap Claim prize and you’ll then be asked to input your name and email address.  If you don’t input your name and email address within 24 hours of notification of winning, you forfeit your prize, and we’ll draw another winner.

Winners will be required to download the Wimbledon app and create a myWimbledon account within 7 days of winning to access their tickets.

Tickets will be allocated to winners within the Wimbledon app within two weeks of the event date. Winners will receive an email prior to this, confirming the date they’ve won for. Winners will need to accept the tickets via email before they appear in the app.

If winners are already a member of the Wimbledon app, winners must ensure they input the same email address at the point of winning that they’ve previously registered with the Wimbledon app. The email address used to input for the Instant Win mechanic and the Wimbledon app must be the same. Vodafone will not accept responsibility for tickets not allocated due to winners providing incorrect or mis-matching email addresses. Winners must allocate their second ticket to their chosen guest within the Wimbledon app.

Prizes will be allocated at random, and Vodafone won’t enter into discussion regarding date/ticket allocated. Winners must be available to attend the match they’ve been allocated, there are no alternative date options and tickets can’t be swapped.
