Luckily, you don't have a ticket to the Commemoration
...and luckily I am not a multiple personality - thanks, Laurie, I re-and reread the sentence (a sentence rather than a prize as it seems now...) and would have been fine with "a/his/her" (thus singular), but "their" just didn't come to my mind - I didn't expect it's about a special kind of group ticket...("whoever gets this...gives me their ticket")
I have learned to live with the confusion on "their." I was being snarky because Thomas had spelled it as "there."
I was a history teacher, but I always corrected my students' grammar when they erred. They would fuss that "...you're not an English teacher." And, I would retort that, "All teachers should be English teachers."
