I spent many all-nighters in freezing cold temps in Buffalo NY waiting in line on a sidewalk for the ticket office to open in the mid 80s. It was unpleasant, but fair.
I think artists should reserve a small fraction of their seats for "real" fans that are willing to do something like this. Make the tickets obtained this way non-transferable to prevent scalping.
Heck, a "solution" to scalping would be to implement the above, and sell the rest of tickets via an auction, so the artist captures the revenue and doesn't leave room for the scalpers to make money.
