Courses Plus Student 10,786 PointsThis code worked perfectly before but now it's showing SyntaxError:
TICKET_PRICE = 10
tickets_remaining = 100
while tickets_remaining !=0:
name = input("Please enter your name ")
print("Hello and Welcome {} ".format(name))
try:
tickets_want = int(input("How many tickets would you like to purchase {} ".format(name)))
if tickets_want>tickets_remaining:
raise ValueError("Sorry only {} tickets are available".format(tickets_remaining)
except ValueError: #showing error here!
print("There is some problem in parsing your req, Please try again! ")
else:
print("Total price for the ticets is $" + str(TICKET_PRICE * tickets_want))
print("Hurry! only {} tickets remaining".format(tickets_remaining))
confirm = input("Do you want to confirm the purchase? Y/N ")
if confirm == "Y" or confirm.lower() == "y":
print("Tickets are sold")
tickets_remaining -=tickets_want
else:
print("Thank you anyways")
print("All tickets SOLD" + "!" * tickets_want)
Add your code in between (at the beginning and at the end) three "" (without quotes) it's above the tab key`

Courses Plus Student 10,786 PointsFound the solution, I forgot to add the as Keyword while throwing ValueError exception, actually I was writing the code by myself but when I watched the video I got the solution. Thank you though! :) Happy Coding!

Hint: those 3 marks should be accents, not apostrophes.

231,275 PointsGood job on resolving your issue!
But it's very hard to read unformatted Python! For future postings, please use the instructions for code formatting in the Markdown Cheatsheet pop-up below the "Add an Answer" area.

Courses Plus Student 10,786 PointsGot it! I forgot a parenthesis before except but now it's not throwing ValueError, I mean it isn't showing my Message about the tickets remaining!
