missing error requirement

just fyi, one error that is missing from this is if the users selects 0 tickets.

The price comes back as "2" which is 0 * 10 + 2.

There should be an additional error raised if the user tries to purchase 0 tickets. 

        ticket_quantity = int(ticket_quantity)
        if ticket_quantity > tickets_remaining:
            raise ValueError("There are only {} tickets remaining.".format(tickets_remaining))
        if ticket_quantity < 1:
            raise ValueError("You must select at least one(1) ticket.")```

Good enhancement! But please edit your code and add Markdown formatting to preserve the code's appearance (particularly indentation).

Craig might have left this intentionally for sharp-eyed developers to further practice their skills. Even if not, you'll find that many of the example programs in the courses can benefit from well-conceived enhancements.
