Yes, the obvious solution to the scalper problem is to drop the tech and go back to physical ticket sales outlets. You stand in line, buy a ticket, present your ID, and you receive a ticket with your photo printed on it and a QR code containing your ID info (encrypted if necessary). At the venue, someone checks your photo, and you scan your ID, which must match the one on the ticket. But Ticketmaster would never do that, because they make too much money from scalping.
