Well, they did sell out within 24 hours (exempting club level seats). I think that a lot of the perceived lack in demand for secondary sales is due to the fact that there are so many reputable options now to find tickets.
Seven years ago, if you wanted to get tickets to a playoff game and didn't get in during the Chiefs sale, you'd have to buy tickets from a scalper or on eBay, while people who bought tickets but weren't able to go end up either eating their tickets or giving them away to friends.
Now, you've got a ton of options (Ticket Exchange, StubHub, eBay) that make it easier than ever for people to buy tickets from other people. Easier exchange = more tickets "available" = lower prices.
(Though there's no question that the economy/withering fan base interest has a lot to do with it as well.)
