Under inflation pressure, consumers are likely to become more price-sensitive toward sports tickets and merchandise. Demand may drop 5-10% as rising costs strain disposable income, especially for non-essential spending. Fans might prioritize cheaper alternatives, such as watching games online or buying discounted gear, potentially reducing live event attendance and merchandise sales. Clubs and retailers may need to offer promotions or adjust pricing to retain customers.
