The Cost of Living Crisis has hit Tennis lovers this year, with a survey revealing 31% of fans are less likely to attend Wimbledon this year.
Research conducted by BonusCodeBets has found that in a survey of more than 2,000 people in the week before Wimbledon started* 31% admitted they were less likely to visit SW19 because of the Cost of Living Crisis.
Over the past year, there has been a significant increase in food and energy prices, with a particular focus on rising gas prices, which can largely be attributed to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Moreover, the global recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic is adding additional strain on these prices, further exacerbating the situation.
According to the survey results, 33% of females who answered the survey admitted they were less likely to attend Wimbledon this year as a result of the Cost of Living Crisis. In comparison, 28% of fans admitted they were less likely to attend.
