If an artist wanted to allocate tickets by lottery at lower than market price, they would need a solution that would prevent ticket brokers from vacuuming them up and reselling them at market rate.

For instance, at time of sale (or signing up for a lottery ticket) they could ask for your name and then check everyone's ID at the door to make sure it's a match — just like airlines do. But this would introduce long delays.

Another option would be an app that used FaceID at time of lottery signup and then again to pull up a barcode to display at the gate, to make sure it's the same face.
