To the original poster: You do realize that in the worst case, the women's final could be over and done in less than an hour? The women's semis on Thursday at a lower price could well be overall a better value.
Debenture tickets are the only legally transferable tickets. The agency I use to sell my tickets (the ones that I am not going to use) is currently charging GBP4,880 for two debenture tickets to the ladies' final. I'd offer you mine at the net price I get but mine have already been sold by the agency.
Tickets other than debenture tickets are of course transferred against the rules but the AELTC is pretty good at catching a lot of those since the tickets are printed with the name of the buyer on them, who must use at least one of the tickets.
P.S. None of the agencies like, or often sell, single tickets.
