Do you agree with this, jackal?

It appears that some think that once you book a reservation, then pay for it, and get a ticket number, the ticket is then... "issued." (No more transactions to take place in between anyone's computer systems.)

The ticket is simply waiting for you to go to the QTrak machine, and well, pick it up. I kinda agree with this. What do you think?
