The recent HBO series 'Heated Rivalry' has captured the attention of a new audience, translating into increased demand for National Hockey League tickets. Data from SeatGeek indicates a notable rise in ticket sales and revenue for the league since the show's debut in November.
Following the show's release, SeatGeek observed a weekly increase in hockey ticket sales exceeding 20%. This surge is particularly significant as no similar trend was noted during the same period last year, suggesting the show's influence on NHL attendance.
