Methodology
“Same-market, same-event type comparison” here means we’re looking at the estimated tickets distributed and comparing that number against the last time the same event type was in that market.
This is the most meaningful way I’ve found to assess live event business. It allows us to avoid problems with comparing different markets to one another (e.g., New York, NY tends to have bigger crowds than Huntsville, AL) and different event types (e.g., PPVs draw better than Raw or Smackdown, which draw better than house shows).
Note that a small number of events did not have ticket maps available and therefore WrestleTix did not provide an estimate for those events.
