Soon only Ticketmaster will rip you off: Concert scalper bots face US ban

Phil Kingston

The issue is that the ticketmasters of the world don't care there's a problem with automated ticket sales and scalping.

Rather than tackle the result, they should be legislating the cause. One option might be to make it illegal to sell tickets to people not providing, say, driver's licence number at the point of sale and make sure that person has to produce and have meaningful check of that same said driving licence when entering the venue.
