Does a paper ticket have to be printed before a ticket number is assigned? If so, and if our credit cards were charged, would they not also have to destroy our property in order to dispose of the tickets, in addition to breaching our contracts?

1. Any IATA carrier can cancel a booking made by another IATA carrier within 24 hours of booking for ANY reason whatsoever.
2. Airlines have no transport liability for tickets sold in violation of the fare rules or contract of carriage - minimum connection times, among other things fall within this realm.

Just shot off an email to my uncle who is very well connected at the NY Times and will hopefully pass this info along and get something about it in there. If it shows up in the Times, you're going to see it all over, particularly local news. I think we'll get them on this one. It's just a matter of wait and see. On the plus side, my tix that I booked on the Canadian Travelocity are still good.

Cancelled. Wiped out even.
Used Orbitz and was successful just before 10:00 yesterday morning.
Rec'd email stamped 10:14 saying, "This email confirms the ticket numbers..."
This morning at 08:00, Orbitz website says, "This reservation has been cancelled." but full details are still showing (tix nos, flights, etc.).
Now (45 mins later), Orbitz my acct says "You have no trips booked." The link "Cancelled Trips" shows full details, but assigned seats (had 1 flight only) have disappeared.
This is disappointing. Does anyone with a later purchase time, still have an active res, with tix?

I have never really had high expectation that this...
..."illusion" of a market fare would come true... but I am curious if attention from the press should turn out to result in some "restoration" to those of who made firm ticket purchases...
...did I screw myself out of eligibility by this?
I called Alitalia this morning, saying that I wanted to add my e-mail address. I was informed that the ticketing had not been processed, and my credit card had not been charged - - but the reservation was still being held, at the new fare of somewhere above $4000.
I did what seemed like the right (courteous) thing to do (to assist any passenger who actually wanted to buy that seat a that price - - and ther will be some) - - I canceled the reservation.
I guess I can check with AmEx to see if there is a record of the purchase having been made (it might have never happened). I have a record locator, but otherwise, I am not sure that I have any proof that they ever booked my reservation and recorded my purchase.
I am not really expecting nything, but it does seem like Alitalia could offer all the canceled passengers a "no penalty cancellation privilege" for any future Alitalia ravel, in the event we decide that we need to back out on a contractual purchase obligation, as they did.
