Peter, Danny And Nellie

(I am looking for a solution to the undernoted problem which I recently came across in a puzzle book.)
I was conversing with my friend Peter, his nephew Danny, and Danny's friend Nellie recently. I possessed two tickets to a new movie in my pocket that I had just purchased, and I mentioned this and noted that there were two four-digit numbers on the tickets and that the sum of all 8 digits was 25. Peter asked if any digit appeared more than twice out of the 8, which I answered, and then Danny asked if the sum of the digits of either ticket was equal to 13, which I answered also. Much to my surprise Nellie immediately told me what the two numbers were.
What were they?

It has been asked once before. But it needs another assumption to solve it, probably that both numbers are consecutive.
