Watching this year's Wimbledon final could set you back by 8K pounds.

But according to a Daily Star report, these sought-after seats could cost 20,000 pounds for two if Britain's Andy Murray, makes it to his second consecutive final.

According to the Daily Star, fans were critical of the pricing in refreshment tents with a traditional glass of Pimm's costing almost 6 pounds.

The final tickets are part of a premium hospitality package.

It gives buyers access to a champagne bar all day, a three-course lunch from a leading chef and an afternoon tea of strawberries and cream.

Other packages on offer include a top-of-the-range spot for a men's semi-final that will cost 8,190 pounds for two, and a quarter-final pair for 6,390 pounds.

Two seats to the women's final, the day before the men's clash, are going for half the price for 4,040 pounds.

A bottle of champagne is 57 pounds, a jug of Pimm's is 20 pounds, or 5.80 pounds a glass, while a small portion of strawberries and cream is 2.50 pounds.
