any safe way to sell and distribute event tickets

[William Gill]

I have a client who wants to sell tickets online for his annual show.

I said we could set up a paypal account to handle the money, but that it
would be best to mail the tickets, or hold them at will call, but told
him I would look into it anyway.

It is easy enough to print a ticket, but as far as I can see validation
and duplication are a problem. Any thoughts on how to integrate a
payment transaction with a ticket delivery system that doesn't allow
someone to pay for 1 ticket and print 100?

The way Blockbuster Video does it is to put a unique barcode on
each coupon, which is then scanned at the store.
