You will hear a conversation between a female customer and a male ticket seller. It is taking place in the box office of a local theatre company.

Speaker A (female): Hi, um, I was hoping to book tickets for tonight’s show, but I’m not sure if there are any left.
Speaker B (male): Sure! Which movie did you have in mind?
Speaker A (female): It’s the new adventure one—Lost in the City, I think it starts at 8?
Speaker B (male): Let me check… okay, yes, we still have some seats, but they're mostly near the front. Is that okay for you?
Speaker A (female): That’s totally fine, I really just want to see it tonight.
Speaker B (male): Alright, how many tickets will you need?
Speaker A (female): Just two, it’ll be me and my friend.

Speaker B (male): Alright, that's two tickets for Lost in the City, tonight at 8PM near the front. Can I have your name for the booking?
Speaker A (female): Sure, it’s Rachel Green.
Speaker B (male): Could I get your phone number, just in case we need to contact you?
Speaker A (female): Of course, it’s 587-555-2828.
Speaker B (male): Great, Rachel. Um, do you want regular seats or the ones with extra legroom? The legroom seats cost two dollars more per ticket.
Speaker A (female): Oh, just the regular ones, thanks. We’re not too picky.

Speaker B (male): Alright, two regular seats for Lost in the City—it comes to $24 in total. Will you be paying by card or cash?
Speaker A (female): Card, if that’s okay. Do you guys take debit?
Speaker B (male): Yes, we do. You can just tap right here on the terminal.
Speaker A (female): Alright, there we go. Oh, will we need to show ID for the entry?
Speaker B (male): Let me check... No, not for this movie, since it's rated PG. Just bring your ticket email.
Speaker A (female): Good to know! And, um, is there any way to reserve popcorn in advance?
Speaker B (male): Haha, not yet, but we’re working on it! You can buy snacks at the counter—there’s sometimes a short line so come a bit early if you can.
Speaker A (female): Okay, thanks for the heads-up. So, just to confirm, I’ll get an email with the tickets?
Speaker B (male): Yep, the confirmation should be in your inbox within a minute. Let us know if you don’t get it.
Speaker A (female): Perfect. Thanks for the help!
