But the fun doesn’t stop there and if you missed out on the prestigious event in 2012, you can still prepare yourself for an eventful summer of 2013.
1) Wimbledon Championships
The passion for sport doesn’t end with the Olympics, as the annual Tennis tournament sees the worlds very best compete in England for the Wimbledon Championship. British number one Andy Murray will be the star of the show as he seeks to finally win a grand slam in front of a home crowd.
After a public ballot, to randomly distribute tickets to visitors of the official Wimbledon websites, you can purchase tickets yourself on the day. Although the queue will be long, attending early is key. Who would want to miss out on a chance to see the likes of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal up close on Court One?
You may even spot some royalty in Prince William or Kate Middleton as they often attend games, making the event that much more special.
