Yeah I think that is a secondary market. The face value of tickets AFAIK doesn't change. Now teams do have "Premium" games ie in Toronto, Yankee games are priced higher than say Cleveland but the face value on each ticket category is not different in August than it is in April. Jays tickets are scarce right now but my son just bought a ticket to see the Yankees Sept 21 for $54 the same as the series in May.
The link also makes a ridiculous claim that buying tickets in advance is a bad idea. I buy seat packages in the offseason because they are discounted. If I decide not to go I have never taken less than face value. Often I get more. I'm not looking to make a profit but have no idea why they would make that claim unless it is about scalping.
