The flying public pays Homeland Security / the TSA a $5.60 fee to check ID and perform screening.

The cost to the concert going public of ID verification would probably be a lot lower than the costs scalping imposes. And the concert venues could certainly capture more than $5 per concert goer by raising prices closer to what the typical person actually pays.
