The FTC acknowledges its suit is based in large part on revelations from a 2018 CBC News/Toronto Star investigation, in which reporters went undercover posing as “ticket brokers” and exposed how Ticketmaster recruited mass scalpers and knowingly let them use hundreds of fake accounts to circumvent ticket-buying limits.

    You don’t think Ticketmaster, who has the ticket never leave their ecosystem, can’t enforce this well enough?

    Like off market sales are gonna happen noatter what you do. But we could at least curtail platform sales …

    Between that and limiting the number of tickets you can buy would knee cap scalpers IMO.
