Advantages: Great spectacle if fortunate of good weather to watch the matches

Disadvantages: Crap food and drink, long queues

Wimbledon is the greatest tennis spectacle about, but the organsiation and facilities at Wimbledon are abismal. Furthermore the tickets are an absolute rip off, ranging from expensive to quite simply ridiculous. If your lucky and win a ballot draw a ticket still costs £60 or more, and if you happen to be going on a day where its rained out but somehow their is 2 hours or more of play, you don't get a refund nor do you get an exchange ticket for another day. Its a massive scam.

The food and drinks at the grounds is so bad its almost not edible. You pay £3 or £4 for a bottle of coke! Henman Hill is always overcrowded and the grass smells of rot and very dirty, so its probably worth standing up. It's better off just watching it on television, unless your lucky enough to be going to Wimbledon on a hot scorching day and it's federer vs nadal. This is the only match up worth paying money to see as evident by last year's 2008 epic final, which nadal thoroughly deserved to win.

Summary: No value for money at all
