best tents for camping 2011 image

If the not the show courts, what about the outside ones? Also where, and what are the prices?
Answer
The main source to get Wimbledon tickets is through the public ballot, but that has finished now and the tickets have been given out, so now the only was to get tickets, either the show courts or the outside courts is to join the queue.
In 2010 I went to Wimbledon on the 1st day which was Monday the 21st of June and I wanted a Centre Court ticket so I had to get Sunday 19th BEFORE 12:00 in the afternoon in the queue in Wimbledon Park. When you get there you will set up your tent and one of the Stuarts will give you a queue card. The first 500 people will get Centre Court tickets, people between 500-999 will get No.1 Court tickets and people between 1000-1500 will get No.2 Court tickets. I was there at exactly 12:00 and I was number 420 which is a bit risky although I still got Centre Court tickets, try and be there before 12. The first day really is the best day too got definitely because you have to queue the whole day before, so that way if you go the first day you don't miss any of the tennis that you could watch on tv! However, if you just wish to get a grounds pass ticket, you must arrive between 7am-8am on the morning of the day you wish to go on, but I would strongly recommend camping overnight especially if the weather is good because the show court tickets are amazing!
The stuarts around the queue are really helpfull and will tell you all you need to know. There are really clean toilet facilities, and they are perfect, trust me I am a clean freak! lol. Wimbledon Park is beautiful and make sure you go for a walk around the lake and you will fall in love with the place, just like I did.
Bring stuff to do like Ipod, PSP, DS or magazines, newspapers or books to read because it can kind of get boring if you don't keep yourself entertained. Bring friends too but only if they are interested in tennis because otherwise they will hold you up. Hopefully it will be good weather like it was for me when I was queueing because then you can sunbathe!
Once you get your queue card, you can walk around but MAKE SURE you keep it with you because if it is stolen or lost you have no proof about where you are in the queue. I went for a walk around Southfields village with my Dad and had a very pleasent time and got something to eat in a Pizza restaurent.
We then walked down tworads the Wimbledon grounds and although you can't actually get in, you can still have a look around the outside and I actually saw some players, MARIA KIRILENKO, TOMAS BERDYCH, LUCIE SAFAROVA, IGOR ANDREEV and got photos and autographs from them. Make sure you get a huge tennis ball so you can get autographs.
This should really fill your day. Now it is probably around 6 or 7pm so go back to your tent and have a drink and talk to some of the people beside you. They are usually really friendly and if you know a lot about tennis you should have a hell of a lot to talk about!
The stuarts wake you up at around 6am but to be honost, I would wake up around five because there is always a big queue for the bathrooms for brushing teath. Also I cannot stress more on this, GET INTO THE BAG QUEUE EARLY!!!!!!!!!!! If you have luggage you can leave them at the top of the queue for £1 per bag and seriously I nearly missed the Centre Court tickets being given out because I was queueing there for almost 2 hours. But if you get there early and be one of the first you should be fine. The reason why the stuards wake you up so early is because there are some people coming in to joint the queue in the morning for just Ground passes and there are 6,000 of them. You have to pack up your tent and belongings to make room for them.
At around 10 o' clock the stuards will give out rist-bands to the first 500 people who want Centre Court tickets and then so on to the next 500 people for No.1 Court and then the next 500 for No.2 Court. My Dad stayed in the queue while I was waiting two hours to drop off the bags and I had to run to join him of where my queue card is and I just got there while they were giving out the wrist bands so if I had got there two minutes later I would have missed the Centre Court wristbands so again it is so important that you get to the bag drop off early.
Whoah, that took so long but I enjoyed doing it! Have so much fun and enjoy yourself! It is the best experience of your life and make sure you take loads of photos! Hopefully this information will help you!

Serious question: is there any evidence that ACORN is not paying OWS protestors to protest?
Bri May
I came across an article, several actually, exposing how New York Communities for Change (NYCC), formerly known as ACORN, have been paying their staff to go out and protest, so I am wondering if any there is any evidence that this is untrue.
Whenever I post a link, my question goes invisible. If you want to see an example of what I am seeing, google "ACORN Officials Cover Up Occupy Wall Street Involvement".
Answer
Well there is evidence that ACORN is paying the homeless and the recently released from jail to join the protest. Thats why there are many crimes at OWS protests. There isn't any proof the other way around.
