Because the tickets are not "of" the concert - they do not belong to the concert. They allow access "to" the concert. In fact native speakers will often say "the concert tickets".

@contrex,

I'd probably say "the tickets for the concert".

Are you going to the concert?
Have you got tickets for the concert?
What was your opinion of the concert?
