> Only allow the tickets purchased to be used by the person that originally purchased it. The reason this method can't be used is because of a legal issue. Someone who buys a ticket has the right to resell it. Suppose after buying the ticket, they realize they can't attend -- should they be stuck with a ticket they can't resell? Also, if reselling wasn't allowed, ticket agents would be driven out of business, and ticket agents vote. > I'm not talking specific outlets ... What is an "outlet" but a ticket reseller? If this idea were put into play, that reseller would be prevented by law from doing business. Concert producers cooperate with, and depend on, resellers to increase the market for their product. So even the ticket's originators would object to the idea of disallowing resales, for a reason given below. > ... this solution would also provide an "insurance" at a nominal price that would allow a full refund if unused. That's another objection to the idea. A concert producer would much prefer that the ticket be resold than to have to provide a refund as well as lose one attendee for each refunded ticket.
