May or may not be related to SHARES. When rebooking OAL, ticket reissue being done improperly, or different systems not talking to each other properly, are not uncommon at all. I only had a few times in the last few PMUA years where I needed this, but had issues with the ticket not being reissued at least twice. This was pre-SHARES.
