The FTC acknowledges its suit is based in large part on revelations from a 2018 CBC News/Toronto Star investigation, in which reporters went undercover posing as "ticket brokers" and exposed how Ticketmaster recruited mass scalpers and knowingly let them use hundreds of fake accounts to circumvent ticket-buying limits.

If the stupid Canadian train company can do it, where every ticket has a name stamped on it, even though only one person bought the tickets, and they check the passengers names at boarding, just like an airline would (yes), then why would ticketmaster and the skydome staff not be able to facilitate this?
