Built so scalpers can't win
We don't fight scalpers with gimmicks. We remove the three things that make scalping possible in the first place: anonymous accounts, markup resale, and forgeable tickets.
How we shut scalpers out
Three controls, working together — not a single trick a scalper can route around.
One person, one account
Every account is tied to a verified Australian mobile, and we allow one account per number — enforced at the database level. Bots can't spin up thousands of identities to sweep an on-sale.
No markup. Ever.
We don't run a resale market where tickets get flipped for profit. There's nowhere on Burratix to list a ticket above what you paid — so there's no margin for a scalper to chase.
Tickets that can't be faked
Each ticket is a uniquely signed code, generated per seat and tamper-evident. A screenshot is just a picture — it can't be forged into a second valid ticket.
Why we don't charge a “scalper tax”
Taxing a markup means allowing the markup. We'd rather there be no markup to tax. Prevention beats punishment: if a ticket can't be flipped for profit and can't be forged, the scalper's business model simply doesn't work here.
Face value in. Face value out. That's the whole deal.
Going further than any Australian ticket
The next layer makes a ticket worthless to anyone but its rightful owner. Here's what we're building.
Identity-bound tickets
Opt-in real-name tickets: your verified name travels with the ticket and is checked against photo ID at the gate, so a ticket only works for the person it belongs to.
Face-value resale
Can't make it? Pass your ticket to another verified fan at face value. The original is cancelled and a fresh one is issued in their name — no barcode ever changes hands.
One-scan entry
Tickets activate close to the event and die the instant they're scanned at the door — so a copied code is worthless.
For Artists
Your fans pay you, not a reseller. When tickets can't be flipped, the value of every seat stays with the people who actually show up — and with you.

Face value. Every time. You should never have to overpay a stranger to see the artists you love — so we made that impossible to begin with.
Browse events →Australia has no single national anti-scalping law — protections vary by state, and resale caps typically apply only to specially declared major events. Burratix goes further than the law requires: we don't operate a markup resale market at all.

No scalpers. No hidden fees. Face value, every time.
