What they're buying _is_ more special and thus worth more. Green Day doesn't need more money but I love limited edition art from small artists.
Why? I know the art up in my home isn't up in everyone's home. I want my space to be unique. I want to be reminded of the tour, the festival, the album release, years later. I'm paying extra to support the artist I love, to have something more unique, and I'm pre paying for nostalgia in a decade.
My walls are covered in art you can't get anymore. I love it. I'll never walk into someone else's home and see that I have the same mass produced dreck up, and every piece of art on my walls is tied to a memory.

They probably spent more than that on the website. So they get publicity, some fans get some unique merch, and everybody else gets a fun joke
