    You know what could solve ticket scalping? Ban ticket resales. That’s always been an option. Venues don’t do this because their only concern is selling out their seats.

      they should just ban it for a profit, you should be able to resell tickets for what you paid for them, plans change.

      How would you do this without verification? How do you still allow gift tickets or buying for a friend?

        Tickets are issued to a name and are confirmed at entry with photo ID, just like with an airline ticket.

          not much better than eye scanning.

          also does not solve the gifting problem, because normally you don’t know the ID of your friends
