Mfw people complain about ticket scalpers

Elvis would only cost you a bullet to the head.

Here's the deal: if bands/venue owners charge market price for tickets (i.e. the same price scalpers charge) everyone is going to shit on that band for being elitist/whatever. Setting an artifically low price accomplishes a few things:
1) the band et al. garner good will for having such reasonable ticket prices and the ire of fans is directed towards the scalpers
2) poor but dedicated fans can still get cheap tickets by camping out before they go on sale

If venue owners really wanted to get rid of scalpers they could. Making tickets non-transferable and tied to the identity of the purchaser, disallowing block purchases, etc. But the reality is they're probably getting kickbacks from the scalpers/scalping websites, thereby gaining both the PR boon of having low prices and a cut of those sweet, sweet shekels.
