    The same way everyone else who regulates it does it - require the ID of the purchaser to be presented upon entry. Ticketmaster/LiveNation are simply not interested in curbing scalping as they make directly money off of it. Small independent vendors have employed ID verification for a long time to stop scalping along with explicit obvious messaging that tickets cannot be resold prior to purchase.

      Also add reasonable limits for the number of tickets someone can buy at a time. Being able to buy 8 tickets in one go is absolutely ridiculous.

        Absolutely. And if it’s a large group of people, it’s not difficult to have several people buy a few tickets each.
