\t\tWimbledon organisers slap down wealthy Indian over empty seat comments\t<\/p>\n
The All England Club has slapped down a member of the billionaire Jindal family after the Indian bemoaned empty seats at Wimbledon.<\/p>\n
Parth Jindal, whose investments includes Indian Premier League cricket team Delhi Capitals, took to social media to berate the empty seats on the showcourts of Wimbledon.<\/p>\n
\u201cNever seen so many empty seats at Wimbledon, that too on a Sunday,\u201d he said<\/a>. \u201cLooks like the high prices are keeping people away. Prices are beyond all comprehension this year at Wimbledon.\u201d<\/p>\n Empty seats on show courts are often down to corporate hospitality users being temporarily absent from the arena, and fans roaming the grounds of the All England club throughout the day.<\/p>\n Wimbledon fight back<\/p>\n But the criticism has prompted<\/a> a backlash from the All England Club, with a spokesperson telling City AM: \u201cA day out at Wimbledon is fantastic value.<\/p>\n \u201cTens of thousands of people join us every day in the Queue for just \u00a333.<\/p>\n \u201cThey can bring in their own food and drink and should guests wish to try our world famous strawberries they are priced at just \u00a32.85.\u201d<\/p>\n This year\u2019s championships at SW19 has seen big names knocked out early on and surprises throughout, headlined by the return of Serena Williams in the women\u2019s singles.<\/p>\n If fans are unable to secure Centre Court or No1 Court tickets through the annual Wimbledon ballot, or through the resale platform held each day, then the only secure way to guarantee a spot at the All England Club<\/a> is through a debenture.<\/p>\n
