How about everyone that wants to buy a ticket enters a free lottery and at the end of the week, winners are randomly selected and they then get to buy tickets. Any unsold tickets are then made available to the general public after the winners had a chance to look.
This is how the London 2012 Olympics worked, and it meant you didn’t have to try be refreshing your browser like mad the minute the tickets were released.

- hesk 8y agoYou need to show ID when entering the event that matches the ticket. This is how a popular music festival does it in Germany to prevent scalping. There is no way to transfer tickets to other persons. Instead you can refund tickets up to a week before the festival which then go back into the lottery.
