I'm not so sure about that. Scalpers are into the game for the gain. If they can't get a pretty immediate ROI, I would think they'd be much less willing to shell out the dough.
Putting $100 down for a couple of seats for a show that may never happen is a HIGHLY speculative practice. THey're already dealing in speculation, but do so on a short-term basis. Extending the time between investment and payoff should effective squelch the scalpers.
