It sounds like you already have an e-ticket issued. I could be wrong, but I thought an e-ticket only gets issued after the agency has paid.
I may be wrong but I believe agents are billed in arrears ?. Tickets get issued but then if agencies don't pay up the airline has the right to block / put a hold on the ticket.

Look what happened with Tripsta.
