  I want to go to concert, and going alone is no fun. I've convinced my 3 co-workers. I buy 4 tickets for us. Situation 1: My co-workers could not get time off work, so I am asking my tennis buddies instead. I am transferring tickets to their names. Situation 2: I am actually a scalper! I've got paid 10x times the price (via venmo), and I am transferring tickets to those random people. How do you tell those 2 apart?

    You don't permit ticket transfers. Instead you sell tickets back to the venue for the price they were bought. Your tennis buddies would better be ready to buy the ticket from the venue 1 second after you sold it back to the venue, else someone else might get it. Scalpers can't transfer tickets in this system.

      I was thinking this, however you "transfer" to the other person, the original buyer gets a refund, and you pay the original ticket price+tx fee, or original buyer pays the fee. Either way.

  Many small venues do this where I'm from and it works like a charm. Even just name on ticket without any further transfer option works well. Not sure if you're going? Don't buy a ticket, more tickets for people who are going for sure.
