Well - I don't think it should be for VIP Events simply because VIP Events are threaded and usually include a countdown gif (as Michi said)
For players who aren't a VIP but do have a forum account (regular members) I think that it would be beneficial towards them because they would be able to know when an Event is going on. It isn't that hard to think about the ideology behind "when"..
@Leon - I understand that you think that Events are randomly done but truth be told I bet if you look at the logs, they're mainly done every 3-5 hours... So I'm sure that the Hosters would not mind having to click a button to enable/disable a light or some sort of text that represents when an Event is taking place.
Also, like spice said - You're thinking about this way too much... It's just an idea.
