Keep runnin code so long as there are tickets for sale
while tickets_remaining >= 1:
Output how many tickets are remaining using the tickets_remaining variable
print("There are only {} tickets left!".format(tickets_remaining))
#Gather the user's name and assign it to a new variable
username = input("Hello! what is your name? ")
#Prompt the user by name and ask how many tickets they would like.
tickets_requested = int(input("Hey {}, How many tickets would you like to purchase? ".format(username)))
#Calcualte the price and assign it to a variable,
total = tickets_requested * TICKET_PRICE
# Output the price to screen
print("Your total {} is ${}".format(username,total))
#Prompt user if they want to proceed Y/N
#If they want to proceed
#print out to screen SOLD!
#and then decrement the tickets remaining
Y = "Y"
N = "N"
confirm = input("Would you like to proceed? ")
if confirm == Y:
print("SOLD!")
tickets_remaining -= tickets_requested
else: print("Thank you {}, Have a nice day!".format(username))
print("Tickets are SOLD OUT!")

What I fail to understand is the global scope to local scope. How do I update the variable remaining_tickets. I was thinking that I should just return from my function remaining_tickets, but that did not work.
