I was actually looking at selling some tickets on Stubhub last week as we had a couple extras (for the Habs game on Friday, not for the Flames) and I was surprised at the commission they take. In order to break even I would've had to list at nearly 25% over face value. These sites really have the effect of inflating tickets prices due to the high fee structure so I can see the benefit of having being allowed to sell for above face value here - it would allow both the buyer and seller to save money.
