This data set obviously isn't what you were expecting to see, even though it exactly meets your requirements. What would you like to do with it?
I have to update the data set into another database on a local server in development and on another remote server in production. The other database is used for reporting.

I meant in terms of potentially reducing the rowcount.
Let's call a set from this table containing the same day, all of the intervals, and the same Event_Channel, a frame. One frame contains 96 rows, one row per interval. There are 9 event channels so there are 864 rows per date. Multiply 864 by the number of dates in the tickets table - 1366 - to yield the number of rows in the matrix table.
One possibility is to remove frames which don't have any corresponding rows in the tickets table.
