How about the “Add to Apple Wallet” option? He did not talk about that at all, but AFAIK the ticket would be fully available offline and not in Ticketmaster app, no? It’s actually an elegant solution IMHO.

Yes, it is available offline if you “Add to Apple Wallet”.
The ticket in Apple Wallet is still revocable if you transfer the ticket to someone else using Ticketmaster’s website, probably through an update that Ticketmaster pushes to the wallet [1].

Just recently dealt with this for a big Ticketmaster event. The Apple ID has to match the email address on the Ticketmaster account, or the ticket will show as Void in the Apple Wallet.
But it does solve the offline issue that the blog author was experiencing.
This sucks because obviously I‘d give them a different email address - just like everyone else. For example with the „login with apple“
OP explicitly states he doesn't want to add the ticket to a google account. Fair to assume they wouldn't want apple either.

I just added a ticket to my Google Wallet for a concert last night and it was very similar to the Ticketmaster/LiveNation app. The PDF417 barcode changed and had an animation around it. My guess is that it is the same or very similar on Apple devices.
So items inside google/apple wallet don't need to be 'static'?
No, I have flight tickets autoupdate when there is a delay.

With Google Wallet (the only one I have at the moment), it is not static for the ticket. It has a NFC and barcode option. The barcode changes every 15 seconds for me.
They mentioned avoiding google wallet, so we can assume android, and that apple wallet wasn't considered for not being an option for them.
The barcode in apple wallet also auto-updates.
