Because everyone loves going to airport not knowing if they have a ticket..

Tickets should be 1,000 yen for that kind of service..

These are the same as Space Available (SA) Tickets (or the Japanese like to call them Subload tickets) which the people working for the airlines have access to. You show up at the airport and hop on the next plane with the available seating.

I've done it before and flew with ANA to Okinawa round trip for 8000 yen. I'm doing again this winter for Hokkaido.
