You're not the first to think of this I assure you.
Most modern scalper platforms collect your credit card and personal info in advance and use it to buy your ticket with their bot. So even if the venue is matching purchase info to your ID and credit card, it all lines up.
Scalpers aren't hawking tickets on show night 200 feet from the venue on the sidewalk anymore.
You pre-buy through them to guarantee that you'll get the ticket you want since everything sells out super fast (because of scalpers!) and you pay the markup for that service.
