- Each month shows what places asked on the days in its Read column; a month already past was read before its nights, so months read at different times are compared as read.
A month's figure is the median of its nightly medians, and a night's the median asking price for one night. A month is listed once it has at least 15 measured nights, each with at least 30 places showing a price.

Medians per night. The whole market pools every price both halves showed that night; a night counts only when both were read, and a month only with enough such nights.

| Month | No price, median night | Highest night | Places checked a night (median) |

| December 2026 | 4% | 29 December 2026: 5% | 208 |
| January 2027 | 5% | 2 January 2027: 6% | 208 |
Counted place by place: a checked place with no price that night is sold out or closed. A month already past shows what had no price when it was read.

| January 2027 | 2 | 9 January 2027 | National Children's Day | $112 | +1% |
Each percentage compares that night's median with measured nights of the same kind (weekday or weekend) within a week either side. It describes the night; it does not say the event moved the price.
