# Output tickets remaining

if confirmBuy.lower() == "y":
print("SOLD, thank you for your purchase {}!".format(name)
tickets_remaining -= ticketsWanted
else:
print("Thank you anyways, {}".format(name))
print("There are now {} tickets remaining.".format(tickets_remaining))
I'm getting a syntax error on line 22 ( tickets_remaining -= ticketsWanted) Not sure why or what to do, I've tried seeing if it was something to do with indention to no avail. Thank you for any help!
