The’most expensive’ ticket in sports history for the Wimbledon final between Djokovic and Alcaraz. Tennis fans are in for a surprise if they try to get a last-minute ticket to the much awaited Wimbledon men’s final between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz. With Djokovic and Alcaraz facing off in the Wimbledon final for the second time in a row, records for the most sought-after and costly tickets in sports history are expected to be broken.
The demand for tickets is so high that the prices have skyrocketed. Eye-popping numbers were used by American sports broadcaster Darren Rovell to highlight the predicament. “Djokovic-Alcaraz Wimbledon Final will be the most expensive get-in finals tickets in the history of sports,” Rovell posted to X. “Right now, WORST SEAT for Sunday is more than $10,000.”
This astounding figure is equivalent to Rs 835193.50 in Indian rupees. With 14,979 seats available at Wimbledon’s Center Court, the total cost of all seats at that pricing would come to an astounding Rs 12,500,000.36. This amount is far smaller than the winner’s prize money. The winner’s check is worth more than Rs 29 crore, which is a sizeable chunk of the tournament’s almost Rs 500 crore prize fund.
The 37-year-old Novak Djokovic is about to tie Roger Federer’s record of eight Wimbledon victories. With a win on Sunday, Djokovic will have won 25 major titles overall, breaking Margaret Court’s record of 24 Grand Slam victories. This accomplishment would solidify Djokovic’s place among the best tennis players of all time.
The 21-year-old Carlos Alcaraz has a lot riding on the outcome of the match. After winning the French Open last month, the Spaniard is going for his fourth Grand Slam victory. This year, he has been a picture of consistency on the circuit. Alcaraz is the youngest player to have advanced to the major finals on all three surfaces at such a young age.
While Djokovic and Alcaraz have not yet faced each other in 2024, Djokovic has a 3-2 record against Alcaraz and has won their past two matches in 2023. This head-to-head record gives the conclusion an additional degree of mystery.
Excitement and expectation are growing both on and off the court as Djokovic and Alcaraz get ready for what seems to be a historic showdown. Those who are lucky enough to see the event firsthand will surely find it to be an expensive and unforgettable experience.
