The Infamous Wimbledon Tennis Tournament Queue

Maybe youll make a friend, or even find someone to marry.

At England’s famed Wimbledon Tennis Tournament some 10,000 people stand in line hours each day for standing room tickets. The line is famous everywhere as simply “The Queue.”

Wimbledon officials say they could easily make the tickets available online. But customers would be upset.

It’s a chance for normally reserved British people to let down their guard and speak to strangers. Maybe you’ll make a friend, or even find someone to marry.

Only in The Queue.
