If bands really don't like scalpels there is a simple way to crush a lot of them. Scalpers make money because more people want to attend then there are seats available.
They need to announce a show and sell out. The next day they just announce a second date and a third date if necessary. Suddenly the Scalpers are left holding the bag for a ton of seats that are now worth less than they paid. If they started doing that randomly throughout a tour Scalpers would wise up really quickly or go bankrupt.
