That is only possible if the tickets are priced at far less than what the market will bear. The surest way to put the predatory scalpers out of business is to (1) increase ticket prices, (2) book larger venues and (3) add more shows.
In 1996 I tried to get tickets to see the NY Rangers in the Eastern Confrence Finals. The tickets, for four potential games, were to go on sale at 9 AM and unless you had season tickets the only way to purchase them would be to buy them directly at the box office as Madison Square Garden. Well, I got to MSG the night before at around 6 PM and waited. When I got there there were only about 50-60 people ahead of me so I was in good shape. By 9 PM that night there had to be at least 500-600 people in line.
Well, 9 AM comes and the ticket office opens. A grand total of three people went up to the ticket window before MSG officials informed those of us waiting that the entire series was sold out. Yeah, I have a very big problem with scalpers since 99% of the time they are NOT just some guys who happen to have a couple of extra tickets they aren’t using and want to get rid of.

I wonder if auctioning them off on the net in small increments would help. I doubt you could ever eliminate bulk buying, but it might help.
