if scalpers are consistently making money, it implies that the original seller has mispriced their product. if the venue has room for n people and tickets are sold for $50, but there are n people willing to pay $100 to attend, it's the artist's/label's fault for pricing the tickets too low. either way, the scalpers aren't taking money from the artist/label. they get the same proceeds whether or not the tickets end up getting scalped.
plus, scalpers do arguably provide some social value. they offer people who aren't willing to religiously track product drops the opportunity to actually buy something popular and scarce.
