let's talk about today's topic take a
look at this video and try to guess
which situation which travel situation
are we going to talk about in this video
what do you
think you guess that today's topic is
getting tickets if you guessed this
congratulations we're going to talk
about getting tickets for different kind
of events or attractions because when
you go to a new location you're probably
going to do some sightseeing going to
museums or Gardens or other places where
you need to buy tickets and different
things might happen so let's talk about
five expressions and five situations
where you can really use English
naturally the first expression is clear
and simple I'd like to get four tickets
for the zoo please I'd like to get four
tickets to the zoo please great I'd like
to get you can say this when you go to
the window you can say this on the phone
you can do a reservation to get tickets
in some situations so you can say I'd
like to get beautiful clear and simple
let's imagine that you want to go to an
awesome concert when you're visiting La
your favorite group is going to be
playing and you are so excited you want
to go see them and you go to the place
where they're going to play the concert
hall the theater the arena and the
person at the ticket counter
says I'm sorry we are fully booked I'm
sorry the concert is full
this means you're too late you can't get
tickets so make sure that you understand
this expression the concert is fully
booked the concert is full but what can
you do in this situation you still have
a little chance not much of a chance but
you can still try you can say oh I
didn't know that I needed to buy tickets
in advance oh I didn't know that I
needed a reservation
can I get on the waiting list can I get
on the waiting list maybe there will be
a waiting list depending on the event
not all events have a waiting list but
it's worth trying you can ask can I get
on the waiting list so because you were
disappointed about the concert tickets
the next night you decide to do
something a little smarter so for
expression number three you're going to
ask do I need to buy tickets in advance
maybe you want to go see a cool magician
why not so you're going to call the
location or you can go to that spot if
you're nearby and you can say do I need
to buy tickets in advance or can I just
walk up and buy them do I need to buy
tickets in advance or can I just walk up
and buy them and usually they'll be
pretty honest about uh you can walk up
and buy them there might be some left
but you should probably buy them in
advance they'll let you know the
situation depending on the event how
many people love magicians so make sure
that you ask this in advance maybe
you're not going to go see a concert
you're not going to go see a magician
you're going to go to an amusement park
and you're super excited to ride some of
the world's biggest and fastest roller
coasters but you realize that a lot of
other people are also excited about
riding these roller coasters so in
advance you call and you say is there
any way to skip the line is there any
way to jump the line and this means do I
have to wait is there any way to go to
the front of the line some places will
have an option where you can skip the
line and some places will say sorry you
have to wait they might say oh yes you
can buy a fast pass but it's going to
cost2 extra dollar per ticket you can
buy a fast pass but it's going to cost
extra they'll let you know the situation
but I want to make sure you can
correctly ask and you can correctly
understand their answer all right so you
have tickets for the amusement park and
then you get a call from the concert and
the person at the ticket counter at the
concert found a way to get you into the
concert you were on the waiting list and
it was successful you got into the
concert so what can you do with your
tickets for the amusement park you don't
want to waste your money you're kind of
sad that you can't ride the roller
coasters but you're glad you can go to
the concert so what should you do with
those tickets well you're going to want
to ask something to the ticket counter
at the amusement park you'll want to
tell them we bought tickets for tomorrow
but we're not going to be able to go can
we return them
we bought tickets for tomorrow but we're
not going to be able to go can we return
them and they'll let you know yes no
maybe give me a million dollars and yes
they'll let you know the situation but
this is a really good question to ask
can I return them in some places you can
in some places you can't so please ask
instead of just wasting your money and
not going ask them use English feel
confident so now it's your turn to use
