What's the subject in this sentence?

Please give her the ticket.

I am thinking that "Please give her" is the predicate and "The ticket" is the subject.

And if that is the case, then the following sentence is grammatically correct:

Please give her she.

Thanks for any help.

There is no overt subject. This is an imperative sentence, and its implied subject is 'you': (You) please give her the ticket.

(You) Give her the ticket.

Here is the analysis of this sentence:

subject - you.
verb - Give (imperative form)
indirect object - her
direct object - ticket.

This sentence is not correct. I am not sure what you are trying to say here.
Please give her she.

Maybe:
She gives her (another girl or woman) the ticket.
He gives her the tic
