The problem with scalping is scale. A single person reselling a single ticket is completely fine, because that is not a viable business model for enough people to distort the market. Just limit the number of tickets someone can buy to 3-5.

A scalper just pretends to be 200 different people. With 200 different emails and 200 different credit cards.

Limiting the number of tickets someone can buy doesn't protect against scalping.
