I'm getting a syntax error for my ticket proceed question

When I run this below I get a SyntaxError: but its exactly the same code as the teachers (to me anyway); could you give me some help please - the error is specifically on, if shouldProceed.lower() == "y":, citing the colon as the issue.

print ("the total due is £{}".format(totalCost)) shouldProceed = input("Do you want to proceed? Y/N " if shouldProceed.lower() == "y": print ("SOLD!") tickets_remaining -= ticketsRequired else: print ("Thank you anyway {}".format(firstName)) print ("sorry the tickets are all sold out :(")

You somehow got a £ that doesn't belong

by the way, please post the code as a code block.

you can do it like this:

```py
past your code here
```

that will look something like this:

print ("the total due is £{}".format(totalCost)) 
shouldProceed = input("Do you want to proceed? Y/N "
if shouldProceed.lower() == "y":
  print ("SOLD!") 
  tickets_remaining -= ticketsRequired
else: 
  print ("Thank you anyway {}".format(firstName)) print ("sorry the tickets are all sold out :(")
