"According to the spending data, drawn from 40 million credit and debit cards analyzed by the consumer data and analytics company Consumer Edge, less than half as much money was spent on tickets in September and the first half of October 2025 as during that same period in 2024."
"This is less than people spent on the center during any other year since 2018, except 2020, when the venue was locked down for most of the year."
"Nice touch with the square pies as seats. That's a lot of empties."
Spending data from 40 million credit and debit cards analyzed by Consumer Edge show ticket purchases in September and the first half of October 2025 fell to less than half of what was spent during the same period in 2024. That level of spending is lower than any year since 2018, with the exception of 2020 when the venue was largely locked down. A visualization represents seats with square pies and highlights many empty seats. The pattern indicates substantially reduced attendance and weaker event revenue in early fall 2025 compared with the prior year.
