Transferring tickets to friends is functionally indistinguishable from scalping

isn’t scalping selling at profit? if i sell to a friend at the same i paid it’s not really scalping …

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.
