Can someone help me with this syntax error?

Code:

#If they want to proceed, 
if should_proceed.lower() == "y": 
    #Print out to the screen "SOLD!" to confirm purchase
    #TODO: Gather credit card information and process it
    print("SOLD!")

  File "masterticket.py", line 24 
    if should_proceed.lower() == "y":
                                                        ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

That's it, missed the lose parenthesis prior line. Thanks!

Prior line of code, I closed parenthesis and runs perfectly: should_proceed = input("Do you want to proceed Y/N "

That usually means something before the line you posted. Can you post your complete code?
