I still see these things as reverse advertisement, in the way that you actually *pay* to see advertisement.

And yet they still sell out. I'm all for other people subsidising development costs so I can get Blizzard games cheaper

What you're paying for is 2 days of awesomeness. Being allowed to play Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2 before most other people. And yeah, it's for fans only. Meaning they're the only ones that don't mind paying for that.
