Would you like to add any further information?

I remember one year being on "box boy duties". Every day, late afternoon .used tickets were collected from the entrances to no1 and centre courts and sold again at reduced prices. the proceeds going to some local worthy cause. The duty of the box boy was to walk around the entrances with a box on a strap around your neck (HOW COOL IS THAT) collecting the used tickets.
