There are really two options. Tickets are non-transferable, which means you need the name of the person and to check ID, and there's no scalping, like airlines. Or tickets are transferable, and you don't need names or IDS or whatever else but scalping occurs.

If you think scalping isn't enough of a problem to balance out the inconvenience of having to plan the ticket purchases better, well, uh, that's just like, your opinion, man. We'll agree to disagree. But it does mitigate a problem, scalpers inflating prices.
