If a system for selling tickets has a weak point, it will be found and exploited by scalpers. That's kind of the whole point of the original article. Every "solution" thrown out by well-meaning third parties is either exploitable by scalpers, makes the experience significantly worse for legitimate buyers, or just shifts which legitimate buyers are able to make a purchase (i.e. I didn't get to buy a ticket but you did. This solution would let me buy a ticket but wouldn't let you buy one).
