Sorry! Third attempt to get this up. I apologize!

The tickets are actually for a museum gallery. The tickets are
extremely hard to get, and in order to prevent scalping, all
overseas-tix must be bought through authorized travel agents. They ask
for name and passport number, which appear on the ticket itself, so
that tickets can't be bought in bulk, and the person has to show the
ticket and passport at time of the exhibit.

But now her passport number will change! I am a little worried. Do
you think if we xerox her old passport with the old number, they will
accept it? It will have the expiration date. I hope she can readjust
this... sigh.

Thank you for the info!!!
