Well, let's be fair -- while the ticketing system is obviously rubbish and tickets can be spoofed, there are other organizational issues that were present. The article talks about on-site staff letting in anyone with a ticket, and that the wrong wristbands were given out, just to name a few of the issues. It's bloody hard to run an event. I've done it for hundreds, and it isn't pretty. 15,000 is a lot, and if you don't have operational experience or a great ops plan, things get very bad very quickly. So again, while the ticketing is a problem, the other issues would still be present had they used EventBrite or Ticketfly for their ticketing solution.
