Many artists, venues, and ticketing companies prohibit transferring to resale sites but allow "fan to fan" transfers. You transfer the ticket to Stubhub via a reasonable but generic sounding email, then they transfer it to the final buyer later.

The domains help Stubhub obscure that they are involved

The particular concert this was for (Illenium at Merriweather Pavilion on 7/15) had resale disabled on Ticketmaster itself per an agreement with the artist.
