Adobe InDesign/Merging a file for consecutive numbering

Question
I have deisgned tickets 4-up on an 8.5 x 11 document in InDesign CS2. These
tickets need consecutive numbering 001-750. My co-worker can supply the
data source files for numbering. How do I merge the documents?

Answer
if you are sending to a printer:

you don't. the printer will get mad at you.
send one ticket, just one, with the number on the bottom. and let them know that these need to be consecutive.

one your own, there's really no way to do it. There is a program that printers have that does this for you. They also up it for you. And if someone says otherwise, please let me know as google doesn't know either.

The only way that I can think to do it is to make a copy of your ticket 750 times and using automatic page numbering.
