For ground passes I usually go straight from collecting my daughter from school (3pm finish), get to the queue at 3.30pm and half the time walk pretty much straight in, half the time queue for an hour or two. Depends on brit-hope I guess (the longest queue was last year on a rainy Tuesday when Konta was playing).
Haven't ever bothered going for the returns queue at the top of the hill, more fun to wander into a random outer court and watch for a bit.
Had about 6 years of nephews being ball boys but that lot are all too old now (the last one, aged 14 then, was 6'4", always drew a few funny comments from the players and umpires.)
Nothing in the ballot for the last few years.
