Do not call the airlines under any conditions! This is the fastest way to kill the trick and bring unwanted attention to your itinerary! And do not post precious deals in this thread, this is by far the fastest way to kill the trick!

This is NOT the right place to ask: "Can you help me with a low fare for AAA-BBB?" This is not the beg-it thread, but the trick-it thread.
This thread deals with unique combinations of routes and booking tricks in order to lower prices on airline fares. Prices that would astound the general public are often achieved by the posters in this thread.
Many people, including airline representatives, monitor this thread. For that reason, it is unorganized, very content heavy, often lacking details, and written in shorthand. It takes patience and effort in order to understand the conversation and be able to participate as an active member.
We encourage you to read the entirety of this thread if you would like to get started and to experiment as soon as you understand the gist of Trick It. Lots of time spent reading, practicing, and learning is the only way to be able to reproduce our tricks and discover new ones yourself. There are many, many people who ask for advice here, so productive members are only able to help those who have shown a concerted effort and progress over a long period of time (months).
If you have no idea what this thread is about, a good place to start are various blogs' posts on the subject. At the very least, read the Rules for posting in this thread. They're also listed in the very first post, below.

Just the last number is different. I looked up the e-tickets and they are exactly the same. Both tickets list all of the flights. The coupon status says open for use on the main flight and airport control for the 3x. Is this typical?

If the first 3 digits are the same and only the last digit is different but consecutive; then it means all you have are CONJUNCTION tickets.
Since E-tickets numbers can only have four (4) coupons C1 C2 C3 C4, then if you take more than 4 flight segments needing their own flight coupons, another e-ticket needs to be made. However, all these other e-tickets are issued together and as part of the main e-ticket number. Hence they are called CONJUNCTION e-tickets.
A conjunction ticket set may consist of up to 6 individual ticket numbers.
