I read that same portion on their ToS page. I understand that error fares happen, but in this day & age the line between error and ridiculous sale is becoming blurred. My itinerary ended up pricing out at about $250, which is on the border of what could be considered a ridiculous fare considering today I see LAX-KUL fares for ~$300... IMO this leaves airlines the ability to go to an OTA and cancel a bunch of fares that were legitimately low.

Extremely disappointed with your decision to not honor airline tickets after payment went thru and I even chose my seats via phone. Will never choose to fly with Virgin again. -Facebook user --who booked via PL

Priceline $281 tickets still showing as ticketed for me and can access seat assignment and reservation via delta website.
Am I the only one not canceled through Priceline?

Nope! So far I have been able to choose seats on DL legs and bid for upgrades on VA legs (did not bid but have the ability to do so). Was also sent a "add a hotel to your reservation" email from PL. Flight records, eticket numbers, PL confirmation numbers still active. Not quite sure what to think...

I'm thinking maybe I and the others cancelled booked towards the end of the mistake and priceline really doesn't have access to those seats/price at that time. I booked at like 19:10-15ish EDT... TFD posted at 1846
EDIT:
Welp there goes that idea...though maybe it is a date/time thing. Like...actual availability varied and it wasn't a blanked error.

hmm, mine ticketed already. I haven't booked an error fare in over a year- remind me- does this mean I am safe or can it still be cancelled by VA? I recall getting the ticket number was always the thing I held my breath on...
