There wouldn't be enough Apple engineers to aid developers seeking help.
There are only going to be about 6 developers there and 14,994 Lookie Lous who just have to be the first to know about the iPhone 6.
People saying that selling out in 2 minutes is "impressive." When I finish in 2 minutes, I just get yelled at ;)

Damn, why can't they move to other venue where it can hold 15000 attendees

They need to move to another larger venue and sell two classes of ticket. A "real" developer ticket and then a tourist ticket. The real developer ticket would be needed to get any hands on discussions with Apple folks. Tourists would just get to go to presentations and walk around and look at stuff, but Apple engineers wouldn't talk to them. And they probably need to raise their prices.

People like to blame "not real developers" for buying up all the tickets... but it's a ridiculous argument.
There are 227,948 companies with apps in the app store. Real developers by any reasonable description. And many of those companies have more than 1 developer. Meanwhile, there are 5000 spots for WWDC.
