# PFMultiplayerDestroyMatchmakingTicket

> Destroys a PlayFab Multiplayer matchmaking ticket and releases associated resources, without canceling the underlying matchmaking service request.

Destroys the matchmaking ticket.

## Syntax

```cpp theme={null}
HRESULT PFMultiplayerDestroyMatchmakingTicket(  
    PFMultiplayerHandle handle,  
    PFMatchmakingTicketHandle ticket  
)  
```

### Parameters

**`handle`**   PFMultiplayerHandle

The handle of the PFMultiplayer API instance.

**`ticket`**   PFMatchmakingTicketHandle

The ticket to destroy.

### Return value

Type: HRESULT

`S_OK` if the call succeeded or an error code otherwise. The human-readable form of the error code can be retrieved via [PFMultiplayerGetErrorMessage()](/services/playfab/multiplayer/lobby/playfabmultiplayerreference-cpp/pfmultiplayer/functions/pfmultiplayergeterrormessage).

## Remarks

This method destroys the matchmaking ticket and reclaims local resources associated with it. If the ticket has not yet completed, a background operation will perform a single best-effort attempt to cancel the ticket with the matchmaking service.
