A devoted fan will have no issue to wake up a 6am and try to buy a ticket. They'll have more chance to get one if they don't have to compete with scalpers. Half the tickets could be sold as first arrived, first served, and half as a lottery system. The ratio might be adjusted.

If we agree that scalpers are a problem, we can make it illegal to resell ticket over the original price. Enforcement is always a problem, so to help with that it could be required to have an ID matching the ticket name and resell can only be performed on official platform.

To grantee having a ticket with this system, a wealthy or connected devoted fan can have private arrangement with the artist manager or event organizer to get tickets.
