Don't know if anyone has any thoughts here but I'm in a bit of a jam...

I need to buy a RTW ST biz ticket (via NW) for a departure next Sunday (7 days from today). I called Friday at around 6pm and apparently just missed the RTW desk, and they of course are gone till tomorrow (Monday).

As I read through the restrictions, it says I have to be ticketed 7 days in advance, which I cannot do because no one is there to buy the ticket from! Once they're back tomorrow, I will be at 6 days.

Does anyone have any advice? Will they ever make an exception to that rule, or is there an online place or other resource I can issue a ticket today? (My travel agent can't do anything because they too have to contact NW's RTW desk.)

I'm stuck! I want to give them my $10k, but no one is there to take my money!

Thanks for any thoughts or advice!
