I dont understand this kind of oversight. It is not like $20 bucks, but $200+ and in the other case, $800+...

On top of that, despite the status changed to "ticketed" - an e-ticket should land in your inbox within the next 24 hours. If that does not show up on schedule, then there is something wrong and you need to look at. Also, once it is truly ticketed, the button of Print Itinerary and Receipt would show up, at least that is for all domestic tickets with AA being the 1st carrier.
