The advice to check with the airline is good.
However, I doubt very much that you will get "hard" tickets (made of
paper!). The industry has moved to e-tickets and they are well aware that
people do buy tickets for one another and procedures are in place that allow
you to pay with your card and your friend to travel without having to show
your card. The likelihood is that another form of identification (probably
the passport of your friend) will be used instead.
