### Tell us what’s happening:

discount = 0  
if is\_member:  
discount = 3  
print(‘User qualifies for membership discount:’)  
else:  
print(‘User does not qualify for membership discount’)  
print(‘Discount:’, discount)

i would kindly ask why im am getting a " You should have print(‘Discount:’, discount) below your if…else statement."? i have it already under the if and else statement.

### Your code so far

```py
base_price = 15
age = 21
seat_type = 'Gold'
show_time = 'Evening'

if age > 17:
    print('User is eligible to book a ticket')

if age >= 21:
    print('User is eligible for Evening shows')
else:
    print('User is not eligible for Evening shows')

is_member = True
is_weekend = False

discount = 0

# User Editable Region

if is_member:
    discount = 3
    print('User qualifies for membership discount:')
else:
    print('User does not qualify for membership discount')
    print('Discount:', discount)

# User Editable Region

```

You have an indentation error. The print statement is not part of the else statement.

Hi

Can you please post all your updated code so I can test it. Put 3 backticks before and after the code.

Photos/screenshots of an error can be helpful, but it also helps to provide the complete code. Posting the code helps us help you better!

When you enter a code, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (`</>`) to add backticks around text.

 ![Pre-formatted-text](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/freecodecamp/original/3X/1/b/1b18854f1059217f29370444396145cc3a0cd8ae.gif)

See [this post](https://forum.freecodecamp.org/t/forum-code-formatting/25574) to find the backtick on your keyboard.  
**Note:** Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').

Try cut and pasting what is in the error message over your print call. Maybe you have some excess whitespace.

You have changed the seed code here.

I suggest you reset and don’t change any of the seed code

```auto
    print(‘User is eligible for Evening shows’)else:print(‘User is not eligible for Evening shows’)

```
