Defining Error

In my line: tickets_reamining -= num_tickets and while tickets_remaining >= 1: my workspace tells me I have a define error. I tried using parentheses, double quotation marks, and single quotation marks. It either tells me that the marks aren't supported or that the marks are illegal. I've referred back to the video and tried looking through some questions in the community but I can't find anything related to my problem.

Since you are comparing numerical quantities here you will not need any kind of quotes. But you seem to have a typo in the first line with "tickets_reamining" instead of "tickets_remaining". Fix that and see if it resolves your problem.

And for future questions take a look at these videos about Posting a Question, using Markdown formatting to preserve the code's appearance, and particularly this one about sharing a snapshot of your workspace.
