Ticketmaster has a system for transferring tickets, if you want to buy or sell tickets.

There could very well be a reason for someone to only sell a physical ticket, or not transfer it through ticketmaster, but I have yet to find anyone but scammers that want to do that.

The reason is, just as you mention, that scammers will try to sell multiple tickets. Then one (or many) sucker turns up to the avenue, only to discover that the ticket has already been validated.

Sure, and it is terrible.

They can block you from transferring the ticket you bought, and can set a minimum resale price (effectively ensuring you cannot recoup anything)

You should to own what you purchase, simple as.
