How about you just restrict ticket sales to 1-2 per person and require it to be tied to a name on sale which is verified on use and cannot be easily changed? That's all you need to do.

    No, I don't want random companies to have my legal name, I reserve the right to be anonymous both online and offline

    Whenever possible, yes. Unless I don't have cash with me, then I may sacrifice.

    For online purchases I need to give my address anyway and name so I can pick the package so there's no way around it.

    Whenever possible I always use a random fake name if really required to fill a name form.

    well, yeah, that's what we are talking about here. online purchases that require anti-bot procedures.
