Correct. This just happened to me with the AA RTW desk, too. The agent explained to me that they still have to send it to the rate desk to check for any change in taxes, surcharges, etc. While keeping the same flights and just changing dates doesn't, by itself, necessarily produce any fare changes, taxes, for example, may have changed since the original ticket was issued.

I love this! Belongs in the Airline Responses HOF!!

Yes. Whenever a ticket is reissued, it's a new ticket with a new number.
