Ticker resellers who buy large blocks of tickets with the sole intent of jacking up the prices are the problem, but I see their lobbyists have done their job well.
Have concert promoters, sporting events, etc put the original tickets up for bid on the internet. You bid for the seats you want against everyone else and cut out the scalper.
The solution is simple then. The venue owner sets a limit on the number of tickets that can be sold to any individual.
No government needed.
