Original sentence: “Please wait for receipt to insure that all tickets have been printed out. Thank you.”
Corrected sentence: “Please wait for receipt to ensure that all tickets have been printed out. Thank you.”
Ensure should be used in place of insure as insure means to guarantee while ensure means to make sure, the latter being the appropriate word to use in this sentence.
