What Drives Padel Pricing?
Peak vs off-peak: A court on a Tuesday morning is significantly cheaper than Friday evening — the -22% premium reflects demand concentration.
Occupancy effect: At 22% average occupancy, Christchurch venues have capacity to fill, which can mean better deals for players booking flexible slots.
Facility quality: Newer indoor facilities with premium features (LED lighting, climate control, lounge areas) command significantly higher rates than older outdoor courts. The P25–P75 range reflects these quality differences.
Market maturity: More established padel markets tend to have higher, more stable prices. In newer markets, prices may shift more quickly as new venues open or demand grows.
