Staggering Wimbledon gift shop prices unveiled as one jumper costs over £300

Wimbledon 2025 merch leaves two fans shocked by prices in a viral TikTok of the annual tournament's gift shop, as many other point out the outrageous prices for household items
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.

Oasis fans discover new genius way of watching the sold-out shows for free

A pair of Oasis fans who didn't get tickets to their sold-out Manchester shows found a novel way to see the band instead - and even the Gallaghers were impressed Two Oasis fans who failed to get tickets to the band's sold-out tour found a genius way to watch their homecoming gigs at Manchester's Heaton Park. ‌ Posting a video to TikTok, @softgirlswhohikle shared a clip of the male fans, who might have got a better view of the stage than most people in the crowds. "No tickets for Oasis? Get the cherry picker out!" the caption said. ‌ "At least they didn't forget their bucket hats," they added. The post quickly racked up more than 160,000 likes, with fans saying both Oasis and Liam Gallagher and brother Noel Gallagher reposted the short clip to their own social media accounts. ‌ Oasis fans are only just realising why Noel Gallagher always has a straw in his mouth before gigs Oasis fan sneaks into Heaton Park gig without ticket after hatching this genius plan And people were impressed with the Oasis fans' efforts, with one referencing the astronomical price of the tickets - some of which reached £500 – in the comments: "Cheaper to hire than paying for a ticket." ‌ Another posted: "This is definitely maybe iconic." A third asked: "Genius! Are they taking bookings? Asking for a friend." A fourth joked: "That's Bez and Shaun Ryder [from the Happy Mondays]." A fifth added: "Well done lads... I'm surprised the council didn't try and put a fence around it!" While a sixth added: "Champagne Supernova in the SKYYYYYYYY!!!" After kicking off their reunion tour in Cardiff on Friday, July 4, Oasis have already played five nights in their native Manchester at Heaton Park. Tonight (Friday, July 25) is the first night of another five-night stretch, this time at London's Wembley Stadium. The band last played at Wembley on July 12, 2009, as part of their 'Dig Out Your Soul' tour. ‌ Get Oasis updates straight to your WhatsApp!

It became one of their final gigs before they sensationally split in Paris later on that year. But the venue doesn't hold good memories for older brother Noel, 58, who previously tore into 'our kid' Liam, 52, over a previous performance. Describing a gig in the year 2000 there as their 'worst ever', he declared: "That was the low point in Oasis. It was a horrible two-and-a-half hour on stage. Liam can hang his head in shame. It was dreadful." ‌ So the band will be pulling out all the stops to make sure the next five nights are ones to remember for all the right reasons. After their London gigs, they will go on to play dates in Edinburgh and Dublin, before taking the tour international. After a 16-year feud, so far Liam and Noel are holding it together on tour – and were even spotted holding hands on stage. Though things appear to be fine between the brothers now, Liam recently opened up to reveal what his one major regret about the band was. A fan asked him on social media: "How does it feel singing songs with ur brother again? Like old times?" Liam responded: "You know what it's spiritual, but I can't help think about all those wasted years, what a waste of PRECIOUS time." But could fans see the once-warring brothers again after their upcoming tour? Replying to a fan, Liam teased: "Let's see how this tour goes and if we still love each other after it." viagogo and resale tickets Sites such as viagogo, Stubhub, and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that ticket conditions often prohibit resale after initial purchase. Those tickets may not be valid for admittance to gigs. Fans intending to buy tickets for live events through resale websites should check the ticket terms and conditions, to confirm whether resale is prohibited, before they buy. Ticket terms and conditions can be checked with the original seller, such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation. If resale is prohibited, tickets bought second-hand could be voided and admission to the event refused.

To her horror, the paint had spread until the stencil and it looked messy and not like the design she had wanted. After she pulled off a larger section, she joked: 'But do we think it is giving cottage core (the goal) or chain link fence?'

Catchin' Sachin - Joe's route to 15,921

In the fourth round of the 2001 Wimbledon Championships, Roger Federer played his first and only competitive singles match against Pete Pete was a seven-time champion at the All England Club. Federer, a 19-year-old with a terrible ponytail and no major titles to his name, stunned the GOAT in five sets. Sampras played one more Wimbledon and Federer would go on to outstrip the American with eight is littered with torch-passing moments. Some obvious, others that reveal themselves in the fullness of 2012. Joe Root, days shy of his 22nd birthday, was called into the England Test side for the first time. Facing a four-pronged India spin attack, he impressed batting in his brand new navy blue cap. Scores of 73 and 20 not out helped England to a draw that sealed a famous 2-1 series the India team was Sachin Tendulkar. It was the singular occasion he shared the same field with Root in international cricket. Tendulkar, 39 at the time, played just six more Tests and did not make another hundred. He retired a year later with an unfathomable 15,921 to anyone at the time, the long pursuit had begun. Root was catchin' Sachin. At Old Trafford on Friday, Root was back against India. Surely no other Yorkshireman has ever been so at home in Manchester? Root's 38th Test century was as flawless as it was inevitable. Some 3,234 other men to have played Test cricket behind him. Only Tendulkar began the third Test fifth on the all-time run-getters' list. A score of 30 was needed to go past Rahul Dravid, 31 to edge ahead of Jacques would have been a flex to take down two greats with one swish of the blade, yet that is not Root's style. Each legend was given due respect. A single to pass Dravid, another to beat Kallis. Bowlers have contemplated heavy duty machinery to knock off either man. Root did it in the space of three deliveries and acknowledged the applause of the crowd with a bashful wave of his hand. There is a Rootian rhythm to batting, and he kept the beat throughout with all the greatest hits. Iron-straight defence, dabs to third man and shuffles off the hips. Urgent scampering between the wickets. Sweeps and reverses. The occasional glorious straight a century was what held most interest for Root, then the number 120 was what the Old Trafford crowd came for. Overhauling Ricky Ponting, the Australian run-machine. Someone call Sydney and tell them our man has more than yours.A steer behind point for one more, Ponting pushed down to the bronze-medal position. Up went Old Trafford, much to the confusion of Root's batting partner Ben Stokes, who did not appear to know what all the fuss what about. The Party Stand was still singing Root's name when Anshul Kamboj trudged in to bowl the next was ended on 150 by Ravindra Jadeja, a man who made his debut in the same Test as Root. The gap to Tendulkar is 2, list of records is already extensive: most Test runs for England, most Test hundreds for England, most matches as England captain, most wins as England captain, most catches by a fielder in Tests, most Test runs at Lord' the unbreakable looks within reach. Root is 34, not 35 until December. Yes, he is already a year older than Alastair Cook when England's previous best run-getter called it quits in 2018, but Root is showing no signs of slowing schedule is mapped out until the end of the home summer in 2027, when Root would be 36 – still a perfectly passable age for a Test now and then, they have one more Test this summer against India. There are five this winter in Australia, then three each against New Zealand and Pakistan at home next year. The winter of 2026-27 is three in South Africa, two in Bangladesh and a special 150th anniversary match against the Aussies in following home summer comprises six Tests, including an Ashes series. England could also reach the World Test Championship final. That makes a possible 25 in the next two the purpose of these calculations, we'll use Root's average runs per match, rather than runs per his 13-year, 157-Test career, Root is averaging 85.4 runs per match. At that rate, he would need 30 more Tests to get to Tendulkar. Deliciously, that would probably come in early 2028, on a tour of Root's output is improving. Since the beginning of 2021, he has averaged 93 runs per Test across 60 this is the kicker. Remember the reverse-scoop to Jasprit Bumrah in the third Test in India last year? The one that caused pelters to rain down from all angles? Since then, Root is averaging 101 runs in 19 he goes at that rate for the next two years, Root would be bang on course to pass Tendulkar in the fifth Ashes Test at The Oval in 2027. Just imagine a Root record and a 5-0 Ashes clean sweep. They would have to declare bank holiday week. Arise, Sir Joseph. Professional sport is seldom so straightforward. Root has been blessed thus far. He has missed two Tests since making his debut and neither were for injuries. Broken fingers are a batters' occupational hazard. Root has occasionally struggled with his back. None of us are getting any now, it feels more likely than not Root will complete the ultimate ascent. If he falls short, he will have to make do with the leading place in the lineage of England batting Grace was the game's first superstar, Jack Hobbs the first cricketer to be knighted. No England player has scored more runs in a single series than Wally Hammond, Denis Compton was the Brylcreem boy. Geoffrey Boycott has not played for 40 years and is still one of the most famous cricketers in the country, David Gower's cover drive made grown men Gooch is thought to have more runs in professional cricket than any other man, Kevin Pietersen emptied bars. Cook conquered Australia and India. Now there is Root, with Tendulkar in his sights, albeit with another unticked achievement that would probably give him more all of the runs and records, Root has not made a hundred in Australia. Never past double figures in 14 Tests and three tours of 2013-14, the young Root was dropped for the final Test, taken out of the firing line of the rampaging Mitchell Johnson. Four years later, he pushed himself so hard as captain in the Sydney heat he ended up on a drip in hospital. In 2021-22, he literally put his balls on the line in is the final itch for Root to scratch. It is hard to see how England return from Australia next January in possession of the urn unless Root performs. He will be acutely down under and beyond are all part of the chase of Tendulkar. The Oval next week, to Australia and back again. Maybe on to Durban and baby born in Sheffield, who left hospital with a cardboard bat cut out by his father, hunting down the Little Master from Sachin. Joe is on the route to 15,922.
