Some bands are trying to move towards "paperless ticketing" for premium seats.... you have to show up at the gate with your ID and the credit card you used to purchase the tickets. They check you off and give you a seat locator slip and you are in. Completely eliminates scalpers. It does open up more problems though for the individual, like if you suddenly can't go to the show. It's not like you can hand your tix to your friend and he can sell them. Iron Maiden is trying it this summer here in the States. Should be interesting to see how it works.
