Owner

From the 2026-06-24 design review. The current "pending" ticket state is confusing and not currently useful — today a ticket is effectively either bought or not.

Two directions (decide)

(a) Remove it entirely — simplest; a ticket is paid or it doesn't exist.
(b) Repurpose it for an organizer-approval flow — most useful for free tickets: the host approves requests, so a ticket sits "pending" until approved/declined. Also overlaps with cash-on-arrival (reserved-but-unpaid).

Note vs ui-tweaks-4

ui-tweaks-4 removes the "Pending" tab from the My Tickets UI as a surface simplification. This issue is the deeper state/model decision behind it — keep them distinct.

Scope / planning

More complex than surface-level: touches the ticket lifecycle in the LNbits events extension + webapp (My Tickets, purchase flow, door scanner). Needs planning. Related: cash-on-arrival, free-ticket approval, notifications ("are you still coming?").
