The artists have some control. They could opt to make their tickets non-transferable. I doubt Ticketmaster would let that happen.

But artists are awfully quiet on the matter and let Ticketmaster be the bad guy while some portion of the fees are definitely going to the artists. Especially an artist like Taylor who is smart and has actual power.
