I think that second thing is just called a refund.

It is harder if you want to resell it yourself, but that is the whole point. The right to resell a piece of paper or a code that lets you into a venue is the means by which scalpers ply their arbitrage.

It just makes more sense to allow people to have the venue refund them. Then suddenly it's not sold out anymore.
