1) Because a lot of fans that see the good tickets as being sold out will then buy the not so good tickets in a panic, which would otherwise be unsold. They know that when they put the good tickets back on sale they will go anyways, either due to fans that didn't bother when they couldn't get great tickets, or fans that brought poor tickets, but will buy again and then try and sell the original tickets...
2) Scalpers do their best work at big shows with big name bands. Stub Hub and viagogo already have tickets on at inflated prices. It can backfire though if the show doesn't sell and and the scalpers end up with lost of tickets that they can't sell....
