Is it possible to number tickets in Pages

Hi - I am creating tickets for a fundraiser, but would like to number them in order to keep track of who the ticket is sold to. Before I start numbering them all one by one - is there a quick way of doing this. I have 8 tickets to an a4 sheet of paper

*1. Use List style to number them* if you can keep all your text in each ticket to just one paragraph, using soft returns to break up lines.

*2. Format up a numbered set of cells in Numbers* and export them as tab delineated text and bring that into Pages.

*3. Search and replace on a marker* like <Ticket#> changing it one up as you go.

Yvan could perhaps help with an AppleScript to automate the last if you ask him nicely.
