NAYRT

It's not really *that* difficult to come up with ways to limit transfer of tickets between people, or to limit the number of tickets people are able to buy in the first place, while still allowing actual fans to buy tickets in groups or split them between people or whatever. There's always going to be some annoyances for fans with those systems but it's very a solvable problem.

But also, like, Ticketmaster literally runs a verified reseller service, so

I mean, I don't see how they could stop me from, say, buying four tickets and then reselling three of them via NextDoor or something, since IME they only check ID when you actually pick up the tickets and not when you use them to get in. I once bought a ticket off a friend because she came down with the flu a few days before a concert she had a ticket for, so she just gave the physical ticket to me and I was able to use it to get in no problem.

That's the part I don't see how they could stop.

But even something like physical tickets significantly cuts down on the amount of reselling that takes place. If buying a resold ticket requires a physical copy of the ticket to change hands (or a bracelet, or dongle, or whatever), that on its own would significantly cut down on the amount of organized ticket reselling that would go on.

It would generally be very annoying and intrusive for fans, and it wouldn't eliminate reselling entirely. But stuff like that does have a real effect. And there's more involved stuff that primary ticketsellers can do - I actually used to work in the industry but it's been years ago so I don't remember all the ins and outs. But bottom line, it is possible for ticket-sellers to have an effect on this stuff.
