Yeah, scalping provides very little value to society except profit to the scalpers. It's parasitic. Unfortunately the methods to combat it, like ticket lotteries, better identity verification and per-id quotas for purchase and transfer, aren't in the interest of ticket vendors. Artists generally can't wield much power either.
