Requiring ID prevents scalping because you have to be the person who paid for the ticket in order to use it.
IIRC my last TicketMaster ticket was transferable - there was a webpage where I could change the name. But presumably if one credit card/IP address transferred the majority of its tickets, you could say with some confidence that that person is a scalper and shut them down.
The limit on purchases is reasonably effective, though.
