If you think a concert promoter and a band want scalpers then you really have zero idea about what goes on.

You should read Trent Reznor's (nine inch nails) words on how the industry works. He explained how what you claim doesnt happen is exactly what happens.
You have some pure artists that truly want their fans to pay a fair price and all that, but it exposed how the new reality is everyone, the artist, promoters, venue, benifet from scalpers.
Most activly work with them to get their shows "sold out" quicker and take a chunk of the profits as well.
