We employ unconditio nal quantile regression with region of origin fixed effects, whereby we fin d that attending live football matches significantly increases expenditures by inbound tourist in the UK, and surprisingly we find that such effects a re strongest for those who overall spend the least. Higher spending individ uals spend significantly more than those who do not attend football matches , even when such individuals are otherwise similar. We analyse the impact o f football attendance across the tourism expenditure distribution which is a relatively neglected aspect within previous research.
