Named ticket
A named ticket carries the visitor's full name and is checked against an ID document at the gate. The Parco archeologico del Colosseo introduced it to stop resale.
Example
A Colosseum ticket bought for a friend must be issued in the friend's name, and a mismatch at the turnstile is refused rather than corrected.
