- I print off 10 copies of each ticket; sell them for 1/2 of face value.
- You get the call asking why you sold the ticket 10 times over; I get off scott free.
There could even be issues with somebody photocopying tickets; or you could have somebody photoshopping tickets. I could take your Green seats I bought off you, and change the section and row number to be Red tickets. I sell them to somebody else, and they get into the arena fine. It's just when they get to their seats that the problem shows itself.

I can certainly see this type of fraud increasing in the coming season, now that there is not really any such thing as "hard copy tickets" and people can't question the authenticity when that's the only way to buy tickets in secondary markets. Nobody is going to sell a pair of tickets on CP or kijiji and let the buyer use their card for the evening.
I think this is a mistake. One of my favourite things about being a season ticket holder is getting the package of tickets and seeing how they all look.
