once this happens it will change a LOT in terms of online ticket sales. take for example the amount of time it takes to get to an event, whether being a concert or NFL game, this isn't something you can show up "on time" for and expect to see a good portion of the show.
if you try to get to an Eagles game, you have to be there at least an hour before, so you can park and wait in line to get through the gates, then get to your seat. If its a popular game, it could be even more. That means, with traffic and assuming you live miles from the stadium, the latest you can buy a ticket is 90 minutes before the event. however in my case, its a 3 hour drive at least with traffic.
so if I can buy tickets, I show up and tail gate like it's my job, then check prices on my phone all the way up to right before I'm headed to the gate.
it's only SMART of ticket sales companies to implement this because that will open the window for buyers and sellers can keep the prices a bit higher -- then stubhub makes more $$
