The electronic ticket, or e-ticket for short, was invented and given its name by inventor Andre Gray when he began selling tickets for a concert through his internet usenet group in June of 1991. The concert,which was headlined by rock group King's X and had The Eric Gales Band as an opening act, was held on July 13th,1991 at the Elco Theatre in Elkhart,Indiana. With a total of twenty seven tickets being sold electronically through the Internet, this was the first verifiable event of where the words "electronic tickets" were used and where the tickets were actually "paperless" and delivered to customers electronically. Since then, every industry in the world has adopted the e-ticket (where applicable) with very little or no changes from the original template as set forth by Gray, especially the airline industry.

Is E-ticket still needed when flight and seat reservations already assigned?

The basic idea of eticket is to reduce on paper and to make the accounting of the flown tickets immediately. However there are some situations when the booking does not get processed properly or the reservation is cancelled due ticket number(which is mandatory to hold the reservation safe) is not fed in by the travel agent. In such cases your eticket printout will help you save your day. Nowadays many airlines give you the option to check-in online and even printout your boarding pass at home before you reach the airport. If you are travelling only with carryon bags then you do not even have to go to the check-in counters. You can walk straight to the gate with your home printed boarding pass.
