I'm not sure what you mean by "receive" the e-ticket. I've booked numerous times through priceline and other intermediaries, but have never received a ticket. I would suggest that you look at the itinerary that you've received from priceline and look for the Airline Confirmation Number (which may be a sequence of letters and or numbers depending on the airline). Then go to the airline's website and look up your flight itinerary. This process also varies by airline, but there should be some menu such as "My Trips" or other itinerary look up option. The airline should be able to find your itinerary based on your name and confirmation number. If your priceline itinerary contains an e-ticket number, you may be able to use that on the airline's website as well. If the airline has your itinerary, you're good to go. You'll be able to check in and get a boarding pass (electronic or print) 24 hours prior to your flight. If the airline has no record of you, then you've got a problem.

Sounds like you are a "nervous Nelly". Priceline is a multi-billion dollar corporation and they could buy the airlines that they use for their bookings. I'm not sure that you know exactly what Priceline does, but if you fight them you will lose. I suggest you do what the other responders have stated. Call the airline. Priceline is like an E-Bay or a Groupon. They don't provide the actual tickets, they buy the flight for you and then they simply inform you what they purchased on your behalf. Your contract is actually with the airline. Priceline is simply the facilitator.

I have booked many times thru Priceline. I have never received an e-ticket. They would normally send confirmation/itinerary. 24 hours prior to flight, go to site for Airline and print boarding pass; or you can wait until you arrive at the airport to print boarding pass. They are legit. Just have some shady business from time to time. Their customer service is the worst I've ever dealt with. Sometimes you can get really great deals, but lately it has been costing me more time and money then it's worth.

Not sure what you are expecting but call airline and they can confirm if you are booked. I've never had a problem with Priceline
