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.

What is an e-ticket?

An e-ticket is an electronic record of a ticket (typically for air travel). E-Tickets exist in computer systems called global distribution systems that facilitate sharing of information among airlines as well as travel agents. A common misconception is that an e-ticket will be printed at the airport when the traveler checks in. In fact the e-ticket never exists as paper. What is printed is referred to as a boarding pass. If you have an e-ticket, you should keep your airline record locator (typically 6 numbers and/or letters long). This helps airlines or travel agents locate your e-ticket.
