I don't know about this. I've flown heaps over the last 30 years and have often had to purchase and fly same day (at the client's expense). I've paid $600, $700 to go Sydney to Brisbane or well over $1200 to go to Perth.
Airfares are structured to increase really quickly in $ as d-day approaches. I'd say people are complaining now because it's the first time for many of them to have actually purchased and flown within a day or so.
