You register in advance of tickets going on sale by uploading a passport style photo along with a variety of personal details. You get sent an email in return with a registration number. On ticket sale day, you log onto the site as normal and select tickets. When you have the desired tickets selected, you input the unique registration number and then continue to confirmation stage. When you receive your ticket, your picture, registration number and details are on the front. This stops touts and results in mostly genuine fans getting tickets. People who only have a slight interest will not go to the effort of registering and it also stops people buying additional tickets!!

Given the system is already in use as close by as the UK. Integration to the Irish system should not cause too much difficulty. I'm sure TM would also appreciate the reduced volume of phone calls/emails/complaints etc from people who will purchase Voided/Copied Tickets.
