## Resource

Wimbledon’s legendary ticket queue is turning into a chaotic tourist spectacle, fueled by TikTok trends and influencer hype. Once a sacred, orderly line, it’s now packed with non-fans flocking for the experience—some even flying in from the U.S. Officials are overwhelmed, with 10,000 people showing up before 8 AM, only to be turned away. Longtime fans are getting crushed as numbers surge from 1,700 to nearly 5,000, while rental bikes clog sidewalks and local councils threaten to seize them. Despite the crowds, empty seats—especially in luxury boxes—remain a glaring problem, leaving true tennis fans frustrated and sidelined.
