Staggering Wimbledon gift shop prices unveiled as one jumper costs over £300
Following Jannik Sinner 's win on July 13 against 2024's champion Carlos Alcaraz, attendees completed the Wimbledon ritual by visiting the court's gift shop, only to be left shocked by the prices of jumpers, towels, candles and parasols.
Wimbledon's men's singles player, Sinner, won yesterday's Men's Singles final, winning a huge sum of £3 million. To celebrate the iconic victory, fans walked to the official gift shop - two in particular posting a light-hearted video on TikTok 'guessing the price' of each item.
The user's post was captioned "Wimbledon prices are NOT for the weak," and showed the creator being followed around the store, estimating the prices of popular memorabilia merchandise - to then laugh in shock at the actual price, to tennis fans' horror online.
Accumulating 1.9million views and 121,000 likes in just two days, the pairs' hysterical clip highlights the additional prices of Wimbledon, as the duo giggled from item to item over the astronomical prices of everyday items like the Wimbledon towel, retailing at a whopping £40, and a branded umbrella for £59.
Most shocking was the knitted cardigan. Not even the most expensive jumper available, the girls picked up the short-sleeve cardigan, saying: "What do you think of this? Right this looks so 'spenny' [expensive]," before taking a guess. She added: "Maybe I'm stretching but £95?" The TikTok creators were left speechless to find jumper cost a staggering £319.
With other knitwear costing up to £449 - and one particular Polo Ralph Lauren sweater priced at £549 - many took to the comments of the video to share their thoughts.
A TikToker wrote: "Towels priced at £40... I now understand why Swiatek is just stuffing it in her bag like that LMAO," with another saying: "I was so disgusted by the greed at Wimbledon. That tournament makes a net profit of hundreds of millions of pounds each year. They price the food, drink and merchandise extortionately high". This was accepted by 4,400 other viewers in terms of likes.
In the defence of pricing, user Holly highlighted that the more costly jumpers were due to the quality and material, stating: "The knitwear is Ralph Lauren just bare that in mind," however others pointed out many of the Polo products lacked the logo designer fans prefer.

Captain Tom's disgraced daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore joins TikTok in career switch
Hannah Ingram-Moore unravelled her father Captain Tom's legacy when she was found to have mismanaged the foundation set up to celebrate his fundraising efforts for charity Captain Tom's disgraced daughter Hannah Ingram-More has undergone a bizarre career switch to become a TikTok "resilience coach" after she was embroiled in a scandal cashing in on her dad's name. Hannah Ingram-Moore unravelled her father's legacy after she was found to have mismanaged Captain Tom's Foundation. The veteran raised nearly £40 million and was knighted for his fundraising efforts. Hannah went on to position herself as director of the foundation but it soon came under scrutiny from watchdogs. The Charity Commission found she had personally benefitted from donations and refused to donate any of the £1.47 million raised from Captain Tom's three books, despite stating part of it would be passed on to the charity. But nearly one and a half years after being branded a charity cheat, Hannah has remade herself into a TikTok "life" and "resilience" coach and has shared bizarre philosophies that she has coined "Moore Moments," a play of her and her dad's name. "The last few years have tested me," Hannah said in a June 24 video. "The criticisms, the judgements, the noise but here's what I've learned: Self-doubt gets louder when you're under pressure. Confidence, that come's from keeping going. Even when people doubt you. You don't have to prove them wrong. You just have to believe in yourself and trust your truth." Since being shared on the platform, the clip has received some 24,000 views. The clip also earned a mixed reception online, garnering only 128 likes and a lot of criticism. One user said: "Sounds like you have convinced yourself of your version of the 'truth." Another added: "You've absolutely no shame." A third commented: "What are you doing? No one likes you." But there were people who shared positive comments, including one that read: "You loved your dad. Made him proud." While a couple of clips have amassed tens of thousands of views, the majority have only a few hundred or a few thousands. As of Tuesday, only 10,700 people followed Hannah's account. On her website, Hannah markets herself as a motivational speaker. She said: "After a wealth of experiences that give her invaluable insight into juggling a professional, family and a global phenomenon, Hannah is a much sought after public speaker, as she seeks to share her knowledge and stories to inspire others." Fees for "executive life coaching" start at £50 for a discovery consultation and go on to £725 for three one hour sessions. Payment is required at the beginning of each agreed programme. She also includes her father's famous quote "tomorrow will be a good day," including a trade mark at end. The Mirror has contacted Hannah for comment.
