That’s the point though, if the supply could satisfy demand at a lower price then the price would be lower so the people who won’t buy at X price are what set the price. In a world where you don’t control who buys tickets this just transfers money from the resellers who do this process to the artist / ticketmaster.
One thing to keep in mind is that we shouldn’t hate Ticketmaster for this. We should hate the artists. The artists could sell non-transferable tickets with ID required at the door of at least one or even all the people going. They choose not to because the scalping business is good for them. So the blame needs to be in the right place.
