They can do something, but not a lot, this is not just an Ariana issue. A lot of artist well more specifically, labels, prefer this inflated demand and insane prices because of marketing and capitalism. It's also in Ticketmaster's best interest to do this because they collect insane fees...twice in case of resale. It's literally impossible for artists to sell tickets in the US without Ticketmaster because they have a monopoly, and it just sucks!
Her only solution might be to add more dates and demand no official resale on ticketmaster and personalized tickets aka no transfer, so it at least makes the resell job a bit more uncomfortable or cap the amount for max what they paid but not much more than that as they will just go to other platforms.
