LONDON \u2014 At the world’s most prestigious tennis tournament, hundreds of the best tickets are reserved for regular folks at low prices \u2014 if they’re willing to camp out for hours or days.<\/p>\n

So every summer, the grounds of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club<\/a> \u2014 better known as Wimbledon \u2014 fill with thousands of campers. Less than a quarter-mile from Centre Court, people line up in a grassy, sometimes muddy, field. They pitch tents and party while waiting in line for tickets to the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championships.<\/p>\n

It’s called “the Queue<\/a>.” It’s got its own social media accounts (@ViewFromTheQ<\/a> on X, for example). And some say it’s more fun than the tennis itself.<\/p>\n
