  Isn't that - not being able to 'load'/display the tickets in the
e-mail - not a problem with her computer, browser, <whatever)?

  Have you tried to let her forward the e-mail to you and let you try?

  If you can display the ticket/barcode, then - as I said - make a
screenshot and either directly send the screenshot to her, or - probably
better - print the screenshot to a PDF and send the PDF to her.

  That - PDF of screenshot - *must* be an acceptable form to present the
ticket at the 'check-in'. If not these Ticketmaster people are a bunch
of idiots.

  Exactly.

  To be on the safe side, *also* print the tickets and let them raise
hell if they're not accepted.
