The production of any type of good or service, with avoidance of queuing, involves costs. Without compensation, any scalper will not give this service. Events’ promoters who wish to ignore scalping could simply increase prices till they were assured surpluses of tickets and seats. Promoters do not do this since they are not harmed by scalping and do not actually want to remove scalping.
