If we could sell tickets here above face value, then for the games that aren't as popular, it won't feel as bad to take a hit when we can't recover our costs. Since there aren't any ticketmaster or StubHub fees, the tickets can be sold to the consumer for less than they would pay on the outside sites. Sellers make the same, and buyers pay less. The buyers become more CP members, so the Dome stays red, instead of being infiltrated with blue and white. These people remember these seats, and then they buy tickets again for the non-premium games from the same sellers. STHs find it easier to get rid of their tickets, and everybody is happy.
This is in addition to it being legal to sell tickets above face value in Alberta since 2009.
