Interesting, but I wonder how they arrive at their values.
Just because I'm a numbers nerd, I took at look at the ACC in Toronto. Just for the Maple Leafs, they hosted 27 games from 1/1/17 to 4/23/17. Average was about 19K per game, so that gets them an attendance of 513,000 for the Leafs alone. Pollstar shows them at 262,331 for 1/1/17 through 6/30/17. Something isn't adding up.
The note at the bottom of the Pollstar pages notes:
"All figures are for tickets sold worldwide as reported to POLLSTAR for shows played between 1/1/17 and 6/30/17." I wonder if those figures are for non-sporting events only?
