Restarting at 1 makes sense only if you think you’re going to run out of integers.

I can’t fathom why part of the deployment of the new system wasn’t to re-seed to the current ticket number or an easy-to-remember integer (hopefully via database, but also ok even if via a Selenium for loop to pull 19,999 tickets to burn the numbers in the new system).

Different systems have different ways of working. some have one number some start at 1 for different types of tickets. A bug and a new feature have a number of differences.
