There are a lot of edge cases that could go wrong there such as people who live right near a timezone border. Not to mention VPN's, etc. Giving a direct time and timezone prevents a lot of potential issues and mitigates a lot of risk. A worthy optimization for this case I suspect.

Or they could just give a countdown timer?

  That would be ideal, as the start of the event is an absolute quantity of time into the future regardless of what timezone the user is in.

  Sounds like a good idea to me. Have both, put the countdown under the time and date.
