This is what is going to happen. It is already happening. During the last World Cup in 2006 tickets were sold to specific people with the name of the purchaser on the ticket. ID's were checked against the name on the ticket before entrance to a stadium was granted. It's unfortunate because this sort of thing costs money to enforce and raises ticket costs, but at least it doesn't raise the price to anywhere near the extent that these scalpers do. I for one wouldn't mind seeing arenas and event promoters institute widespread implementation of this.
I would be 100% opposed to linking names to tickets and only those with matching names and tickets being admitted.
As an example, yesterday I had a client cancel at the last minute for the Hurricanes game so I had to quickly scramble and find a new client to take to the game.
Had such a system been in place, the 2 tickets I had for the client and a guest would have been useless.
And at around $1,000 a game I have no interest in any government or private schemes to restrict ticket usage.
