Why don't they personalize tickets?

I don't understand, why aren't tickets personalized?

So, that your name is on them and you go to the concert with your identity card, with the matching name.

It's true that dynamic pricing allows the original ticket sellers to achieve a higher overall price because resellers artificially increase the number of interested parties, even though they aren't actually fans, but non-personalized tickets existed already before dynamic pricing.

Otherwise, it is clear that resellers will get involved.

Mine are. I bought 4 tickets for me and my friends and they need to go into the venue together with me and I have to show my ID. This goes for the Golden Circle EE tickets.

I've never had to match my ID but they always come with unique QR codes, no? 

Am I misunderstanding the question

A personalized ticket has a name printed on it (or digitally a QR code that redirects to the name of the person who owns the ticket) and it must match the name of the owner's ID card in order to be allowed to attend the concert. Personalized tickets prevent reselling and therefore prevent resellers to buy tickets just for the sake of reselling in first place. I read  here on the forum a lot about reselling  in the other topics and thought this was the norm, until some people here said that personalized is the norm (?).

It doesn't suffice  because of reasons.

Say parents who bought their high school age kids tickets, but can't/didn't wanna go with them, or cos people sometimes can't make it near the day  since something more urgent  coming up and want to sell their tickets, things like this will make personalized tickets so much unnecessary trouble.
