The main reason is because unlike many industries who try to fight the consumer at every turn forcing them to use other means to get what they want the Flames have realized that they are better off taking 22% of the pie instead of 0% of below face tickets and sell a few more actual tickets. With over 16000 season ticket holders that is a pretty big market to ignore compared to the 3000 other seats. If they didnt allow it kijiji or here still does.

Also it will allow the flames to discount there own tickets as gameday approaches for low demand games.
