Hey Sunil Nagavaram, the issue is the beyond ticket limit error is being raised explicitly with a string argument but the “invalid int” is raised by the system and gets the auto generated error.

This overloading of different error causes onto the same except block makes both cases handled with the same print message style.

One fix would to handle the “over limit” error by simply printing a message without raising an error.

If it’s important to keep the raised error then a nest a second try/except around the inner error.

Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!
