You can't simply export the generated HTML? e.g. File/Save/Complete and
then dig through that.

Could could also inspect the page to see if the content is there.
If Firefox won't show it by default, the Firebug add-on might.

More often than not this data comes down from an AJAX request (usually
in a JSON format), and that can usually be captured
e.g. Firebug add-on/F12/Net (tab)

A bit of a PITA, but doable.

A bit surprised they don't have an "Export ticket" button or something.
