You can't put Ticketmaster aside precisely because Ticketmaster likes scalpers. They don't want to shut down scalpers. Hell, for all I know, Ticketmaster might actually BE the scalpers (talk about paranoia ... but, hey, vertical integration for the win).
Consequently, even if there are "technical" solutions to scalpers, the socio-political aspects prevent the solution from being deployed.
