463 PointsSyntaxError: Invalid Syntax
This is my code
TICKET_PRICE = 10
tickets_remaining = 100
while tickets_remaining >= 1:
name = input("What is your name? ")
print("Welcome {}!".format(name))
print("There are {} tickets remaining.".format(tickets_remaining))
try:
order_amount = int(input("How many of those would you like," + name + "? "))
if order_amount > tickets_remaining:
raise ValueError ("Sorry there are only {} tickets left".format(tickets_remaining)
except ValueError as err:
print("Sorry, we ran into an issure. Please try again. {}.".format(err))
else:
order_price = order_amount*TICKET_PRICE
print ("That comes up to $", order_price)
ask_proceed = input("Do you want to proceed? Y/N ")
if ask_proceed.lower() == "y":
print("SOLD!!! Have fun " + name)
tickets_remaining -= order_amount
else:
print("Thank you anyways {} and have a nice day".format(name))
print("Sorry that's all folks!! ")
I get a Syntax Error pointing to the e in except and I have no idea what is wrong, try and except ar indetned the same amount so that can't be it

In this case, the parentheses on the previous line are unbalanced (the function still needs a closing parenthesis).

231,172 PointsThe "else" is indented too far and doesn't line up with the "try" and "except".
