What does the ticket status mean on 'orders & attendees' – Universe Help Center

When a ticket is purchased for your event, the buyer and attendee information is added to the Orders & Attendees tab in your event manager. Beside each purchase or purchase attempt, is listed the status of that order. Here you will find explanations of what each status means.

Note: You can see all orders of a particular status by using the dropdown to 'filter order by status'.

Status	Definition	Ticket
Cancelled	The ticket was created and processed but has since been cancelled and any associated transactions have been reverted/refunded.	Not valid
Declined	The ticket has been processed, but the payment method was declined by the upstream gateway.	Not valid
Failed	The ticket has been processed, but the processing failed. Failed payments can happen for a variety of reasons, such as insufficient funds on the buyer's card, incorrect card number entered, the purchase was blocked by the buyer's bank, etc.	Not valid
Paid	The ticket has been successfully processed, and payment methods have been charged. Completed purchase.	Valid for entry
Ended	The ticket was previously in a 'Paid' status, and the event has ended. Paid tickets change to 'Ended' once the event ends	No longer valid for entry, as event has ended
Expired	The ticket was previously in a 'Failed' or 'Declined' state, and the event has ended. Failed or Declined tickets change to Expired once the event ends.	Not valid for entry, and was not valid for entry before the event ended
Review Required	The ticket has been created but requires your approval to process. For more information see the following article: Set your event to require your approval for each booking	Not valid, until approved by host
Unauthorized	The ticket was created when a user initiated a purchase using an Alternate Payment Method(APM) but it is awaiting payment. When a ticket is purchased using an APM, it enters an 'unauthorized' state until the buyer authorizes the charge via that payment method (i.e. SOFORT, iDeal, etc.). Once the charge has been authorized, the ticket will transition to a 'paid' state.	Not valid, until authorized by buyer

Note: Universe supports many alternate payment methods for our hosts all over the world. See which payment methods we accept, here.
