Well, nothing can be done after the scalper or broker has GA tickets in their hands but I think something could be done to prevent Scalpers from getting their hands on GA tickets and reselling them. Make all GA tickets Will Call tickets only. There would be no delivery to the purchaser. In order to get the GA tickets, you would have to go to the Venue the day of the show, and produce identification and the credit card used to purchase the GA tickets. Obviously a credit card for the purchase would be necessary and ticket outlets would only give you a receipt.
But if all 1,800 GA tickets are only given to the purchaser the day of the show from the venue the concert takes place, this virtually takes scalpers and brokers out of the picture for GA tickets. I don't think they could do this for all tickets, but they certainly could do this for the small number of GA tickets. Each arena show has about 1,800 GA tickets available per show.
