I just learned from Wimbledon Tennis Club that I've been lucky enough to get two 2018 tickets in the ballot for Centre Court, for the first Saturday. But I have two children. Is it possible to rotate them i.e have one join me for three hours and then swap them over? If so how is this done? Does the one arriving later need to get a ground pass to get in? It doesn't say on the Wimbledon site that this is illegal, especially as I am the applicant and not re-selling or transferring out of my hands. Any advice welcome. Thanks.

It's true, I felt guilty posting the question.

If you can't rotate them then an option is that the child who doesn't go gets an away day with mum to somewhere special.

Our idea was to ask the kids where their ideal away day would be before telling them of the, in your case, Wimby tickets.

Another option; is there one kid you don't really like? Just pick the other.

(The away day was my wife's idea.)
Second option was clearly a 'dad' suggestion.

If you can get one in with a ground pass (not that easy, could be a long queue) you can rotate use of Centre Court seats.
Thanks. I'll ask my better half to queue. Last year I camped for two nights in the rain for tickets, so it's her turn to do a few hours.
