An option I'd like to see implemented is to make the customer put down a bond. Besides charging the customer for the ticket, also charge them another higher amount that gets refunded x days after the concert. If the customer is found to be a scalper don't return the bond.

Scalpers can't pay high bond amounts at scale combined with the risk of not having the bond returned.

Also filtering people who don't own much to begin with?

Yeah when I was a teen I might have had $40 for a show but not $500 for a bond.
