Tonight sports fans have a few different options: Game 4 of the NHL Eastern Conference Finals at the Prudential Center, Game 5 of a lopsided Lakers-Thunder series, or Game 5 of a (now) three-game set between the Celtics and 76ers. Last minute fans can still pull the trigger for a couple hours for each game, but gauging things from a ticketing perspective, the sole hockey game of the night is the preferred choice for fans. Granted the massive New York/New Jersey market doesn’t make for a true apples-to-apples comparison, but nonetheless, sales demand still surpasses both NBA games combined.
Here’s a look at how StubHub buyers break out for tonight’s game in New Jersey:
- New Jersey 57%
- New York 32%
- Connecticut/Pennsylvania each 2%
- All other states less than 2%
- The farthest buyer is coming from Victoria, Australia
Any guesses on how the jerseys will actually split tonight? Ticket buyers are roughly 60/40 in favor of New Jersey, but odds are the crowd will be 60/40 in favor of Rangers fans…
