no doubt that alternatives are out there...
I saw Garth in Vegas in 2010, and there were over the top measures in place to stop scalping...
(I was limited to 4 tickets, and I had to enter all 4 peoples names at the time of purchase. We had to arrive the day of the concert with our tickets [with our names on them], and exchange them for wristbands that we had to wear to gain access to the concert later that night.)
That being said, it took me 18 months before I was finally able to buy tickets, as they would sell out within minutes of going on sale.
At the end of the day, I'd guess that there were about 250,000 people trying to buy 15,000 tickets, so of course people are going to be pissed and want to blame someone.
