The entertainment industry should find a way to help resolve this.
It seems that non-transferable tickets could work with todays technology.
I think it is a slippery slope.

Show me another outlet outside of Live Nation that provides people with the same choice of seats they do. Even going to the venue directly as tickets go on sale won't get you the choice of seat you can get through Ticketmaster these days.
You could have a point if there were another cometitor on Live Nation's level giving a choice of who you spend your money with, and therefore bringing down prices, but there isn't one.
