...Debbie sent her the Florida number. Seconds later, the phone rang. She was in tears. It was an hour until departure. Upon check-in at the counter, passport and reservation confirmation number in hand, she discovered they wouldn't let her on the plane without a "reissued ticket" number - which had never been issued!...

I have checked in & traveled on tickets that were not fully valid only to hit a brick wall along the way. It's quite possible.

In my case the KLM transfer desk at AMS dealt with the reissue on the spot.
