A more subtle variation of this is if you use Firefox's SessionSaver, or 
SAFT for Safari. If you update a ticket as the last thing before you 
quit the browser, then you get that same update again when you restart, 
sometimes.

Some kind of 'one-time key' in the submitted form that gets checked off 
as used by the receiving page would do it, but it sounds like it would 
be a fiddle to retrofit it.
