Not with digital ticketing. No ID is necessary. It is a rotating code so you can't just ship someone a screenshot. You have to have the Ticketmaster app, logged into your account. Unless scalpers want to start giving away their entire Ticketmaster accounts, it would stop it easily.

They already sell accounts along with tickets.

Yes, because TM isn't trying to stop them. It'd be fairly easy. Hell, make you use Apple Wallet or Google Pay. Then you'd have to sell the phone too.
