I still don't understand exactly what's going on here. Is she upset about not having the same seats? Or is there more?

Legacy tickets can't be passed down 2 generations. She doesn't like the rule.

Most of what was posted that she objects to was general discussion on the topic and not directed at her.

She makes several reasonable points. Are we sure she is "triggered" and not CB?
