Both times it was caused by some kind of credit card error for me. And once I called up and got it ticketed, another time I had to change my travel and I got to do it gratis!

However, be sure to call and resolve it before date of travel.
Thanks for the tip I've had a trip to OGG booked for a while (since before I discovered FT) and it was still showing 'purchased' but not 'ticketed'. I had booked in Q but changed it this morning to V for no fee and only a slight fare difference - anything for EQMs
