Methodology

Rankings were determined based on sales data for NHL games from the past three years sold on Vivid Seat’s ticket marketplace and were calculated using credit card billing data (zip codes in the U.S. and postal codes in Canada). Only regular season games were included. Data was aggregated by the first three characters of the Canadian postal code and U.S. county, depending on location.
