You might want to limit tickets to one per email. You'll see the option under Settings > Restrictions:

Placing orders

We don't stop someone placing a second order but we do stop them assigning it to themselves. This is to allow someone to buy a ticket for someone else.

For example, if you buy a ticket you can then experimentally try and assign it to someone else's email. If you're not allowed to do so then you know they already have a ticket.

To mitigate the impact of this, we will send an email to the attendee warning them that someone has attempted to use their email address to assign a ticket. It will look like this:
