Hello everyone. I tested my: python masterticket.py...

When it says, "How many tickets would you like, Mike?" I typed in 3 and my total due was $13.... Craig's total was $30 for 3 tickets. Please explain how this is possible?

Hiya Mike Buenaventura :wave:

We'll need to see your code to better assist you. Check out this video about sharing a snapshot of your workspace, then we can take a look. :thumbsup:

Awesome, thanks for sharing your Workspace Mike Buenaventura!

You were ultra close! There is just a tiny issue with what math operator you used on line 20 in your code. Currently, you have this:

amount_due = num_tickets + TICKET_PRICE

So, when that line runs num_tickets which is 3 gets added to TICKET_PRICE, which is 10. You just need to change the math operator there to use multiplication instead of addition, then you will get the same value as Craig. :thumbsup:

Thank you Brian. I went to the console, typed in 98... the total is $980... proceed...y..... sold... then it said, "Sorry the tickets are all sold out!!!".... Any more hints and tips please? There should be 2 tickets remaining.

You're welcome, Mike Buenaventura :raised_hands:

You just need to remove the indentation in front of your print("Sorry the tickets are all sold out!!! :(") statement. That way, it won't run that line until after the while loop ends.
