- 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.
Places with no price, by month

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

| January 2027 | 4% | 1 January 2027: 7% | 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 | 1 | 1 January 2027 | New Year's Day | $221 | +3% |
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.
