I agree with the bad implement but the opening complaining that "old way of printable tickets was great why change it" have so many problems.
Scalpers are the problem that you have to accept. At the time of purchase, there's no way to tell the difference between a legit purchaser and a scalper or even someone who bought it and simply can't go and needs to resell.
IDs, ticket limiters, CCs, etc, etc. All methods can be circumvented by someone dedicated enough. You can only make it "not scalable" but the tickets still need to be transferable, securely.
Unless we're willing to go ID checking at the gate, there's not going to be a true solution.
