Scalping is unpleasant for everyone involved other than the scalper. Entertainment industry is finally catching up to the real fix, which is increasing the supply. If there is way too big of a demand for a single concert, just hold more concerts at the same spot. It's basically the Vegas residency model. Sure you might visit less cities overall but not rebuilding a stage every other day yields a substantial savings in logistics, too.

If there weren’t scalpers, you just don’t get a ticket at all because they are already sold out. Scalpers are what let you get a ticket so at all. You can’t just play more shows at a single location. What if every show at every venue is sold out? A band can only play so many total shows.

This isn't a secondary market, this is scalping at an industrial level and provide strictly no added value whatsoever. This is only pleasant for Viagogo making a quick buck with scalp bots.
