I am also waiting for my reservation to be ticketed. I can't find anything that says when I reserved the tickets. It has a few partners that the reservation is apparently waiting on, including Aer Lingus and Air Canada. I think I will wait until late afternoon and try to give them a call.
Are you saying that the 24 hour countdown doesn't start until the reservation is ticketed? I am a little confused since we did give our credit card info for the taxes and fees part of the reservation.
