Ice Hockey is the only one of the 15 sports studied where resale tickets actually come in cheaper than face value, while Tennis's average premium hides a split result: Wimbledon fans pay thousands more on the secondary market, but US Open tickets are typically cheaper resold. The data suggests ticket markups are driven less by a sport's overall popularity and more by single standout events.
