>require showing an ID with a name that matches the name on the ticket

Then scalpers would just pre-sell tickets and buy it in the given name. There's an arms race and it's not easy to fight the market.



No, you show ID to buy the tickets too. This isn't brain surgery, folks- plenty of venues already do this. It's not perfect, but it's good enough to make scalping not worth the effort.
