I don't know why this is being made to look like an insurmountable problem. We're talking about multi-billion dollar companies, organising billion dollar tours.

If I was conspiracy-minded, I'd say blaming "the scalpers" would be a very convenient way of dodging responsibilities while taking a cut.
This allows scalping.
And then, since scalping is not prevented, all that these measures really accomplish is to theatrically increase the burden for everyone else.
It's not exactly a project Manhattan level of breakthrough we're talking about here. The incentives to scalp are vastly reduced. Sure, I could buy four tickets and resell three of them, but I would still need to physically go to the venue to walk people in. It just doesn't scale.
The platform doesn't need to support it, not do the rules and laws.
It's very straightforward: The buyer either meets my terms or there is no sale.
Awesome. Let's just add the frictions of flying to the concert-going experience.
That's a pretty good way to eliminate scalping: Just make it such a pain in the ass to attend that the seats never sell out to begin with.
Other than being terrible, this sounds like a great idea!
