I thought this had already been solved somewhat. There are many events in the UK that use tickets with your photo on them. One example is Glastonbury where you have to pre-register your photo before the tickets go on sale and you get a registration number. Then the person buying the tickets on the day enters the registration numbers of the people they are purchasing for, similar to passport number when buying plane tickets. No page refreshes required on ticket day because tickets are only sold through the 1 vendor site so they have the full pool of tickets. Scalpers don't bother to get in the online queue because they are non-transferrable. If you decide not to go to to the event you can return your ticket for a refund, those returned tickets then get offered up at a later date for anyone that previously registered but missed out. There are no person to person trades. All tickets sales are vendor to person.
