I see this as a way to let people who are _very_ interested in the event ("true fans") get in while it's cheap, taxing those who are lazier or "lesser" fans for their dawdling.

I would say its probably more due to a commitment made by the fan vs maybe not going and the fact the concert/venue/promoter can invest/spend that money now instead of later.

It works out that way, but you also have a higher chance of forgetting about the concert ticket that you bought a year ago.

Also, since the ticket cartel is also a scalper, they get a cut of the resale action as well!
