How does resale help the artist? By inflating expectations for ticket prices for the next show?

If the artist sells them directly at the market price set by the resale auction, they get more than if they sell at face value.

The question was about actual resale (although I'm beginning to wonder); you're talking about something for which I don't believe the word "resale" is accurate.
