The article mentions a workaround for this:
> So-called "paperless" tickets are an antiscalping measure that requires the purchasing credit card to be presented at the venue on the night of the concert. This requirement makes scalpers' lives much harder but is regularly circumvented by the most serious operations. Wiseguy, for instance, told its wholesalers to ask their customers for their credit cards before a sale happened. Wiseguy then used its bot to buy paperless tickets directly on fans' credit cards.
- austenallred 10y agoThat's one way. There are a few more. I know people who would have three credit cards, buy 24 tickets, and fly around the country picking them up. One guy I talked to had seen Metallica every time they played in the past 10 years and made a good chunk of cash doing so.
