Meanwhile the season ticket holder is only actually paying 2/3 of the face value to the league.
Which is why I said the resale price would be higher (that doesn't go to the teams it's to ticket holders).

And then went on to solve for ticket price to make your 36% work outside of the $135 I found online.

The bottom line ... 36% doesn't work unless you think the average ticket price is $74 and beer and popcorn and a hat are all free for NHL ticket holders.

But I'll do it again.

17380 average attendance
31 teams
45 games

That's 24.2M tickets sold

36% of $5B is $1.8B

$1.8B/24.2M is $74 but that has to include concessions etc.

So given the price of beer these days you're now down to what $55/ticket

That's not what I'm seeing in the NHL.

I don't need to see raw data (which I have for attendance) when the math can't possibly get to 36%
