Attendances throughout the Elite League were big during the holiday period of games, played from Boxing Day until 5 January 2025.

In total, the 30 games played between this period registered a combined attendance of 117,162!

There were multiple sell-outs in Belfast, Cardiff, Glasgow, Guildford, Nottingham and Sheffield. On 1 January 2025, Coventry Blaze recorded their second-highest attendance ever, while Dundee Stars came very close to a sold-out building on 28 December.

Last season, the Elite League recorded over a million spectators during a single season for only the third time in it's history, and is on track to surpass that number again in 2024/25.
