Hi Dolapo,

I ran your code and noticed three bugs.

The first error is the syntax error you mentioned. Sometimes you'll look at a stack trace like the one you were getting and think, "there's nothing wrong with this line of code". When you get this situation, it's often the case that the previous line is missing something that will end that line of code, so Python is treating your last line of code as if it was a continuation of the previous expression.

This is the problem you have here. Look at the previous line:

print("Thanks anyways {}".format(name)

You'll notice that you are missing a closing parenthesis. This is causing Python to treat your final line as part of this print statement.

Once you fix this, you'll notice the next error, which occurs when choosing the number of tickets:

    number_tickets = input("How many tickets would you like,{}? ".format(name))
    number_tickets = int(num_tickets)

In the second line above, you are referring to num_tickets but your variable is number_tickets.

Then you have another error if you attempt to buy more tickets than available:

raise ValueError("There are only {} tickets available".format(tickets_remaing))

This is because you have a typo in tickets_remaing

Hope that helps

Alex
