 From my own experience I would say:

people just love to be accepted into a restricted club!


Usually people do all they can to become member of something exclusive 
and really prestigious.


You can see this all over the place, because this is actually the 
reason, why you have to wait a long time in a cue at same sort of entrence.

And without a cue waiting, you would not feel priviledged, if you can 
walk right into this place.

Without waiting a long time, you would much less feel priviledged, if 
you are actually inside.

This trick is used extensively in many cases for otherwise totally 
boring places like old warehouses, where very load music plays.
