Scalpers are certainly going to have to eat a lot there, but I think many fans are also dumping their tickets as well.
I also think the artists deserve a lot more blame than the scalpers. Garth Brooks can cry and complain about scalpers all he wants, he simply did not offer enough safeguards to ensure that fans were the ones with the best access to tickets. Many methods have been discussed in this thread, and the Garth chose to go with free-for-all, complete lottery to buy tickets. Of course with no safegaurds, when scalpers can use bots they are going to get a large share of tickets.

From what I gather, Garth does not have a say in how tickets are sold. Ticketmaster wanted to sell the tickets for more but that was one thing Garth stood his ground on.
If you think he just complains and doesnt do anything about it....go buy a scalpers ticket off ebay for his Vegas show and let me know how it works.
