So is that not considered a "ticketed" reservation?
You don't have a ticket until you have a ticket number. When it tickets, the reservation updates to say "ticketed" and UA will send you an email to confirm ticketing. Until then, all you have is an unticketed reservation (which is identified with an alphanumeric code that UA usually calls a "record locator").
Do you have an email from UA with a ticket number? It's a 13 digit number that begins with 016.
