If demand is comparable to supply at the price at which the tickets were initially purchased by scalpers, then the fair market value on the secondary market would be about the same as the initial price, at which point the scalpers would have lost money on the deal (after accounting for secondary market fees), and customers would end up paying about the same price as they would have if they had purchased them directly from the venue/promoter.
