TASK: *Write the transcript* of your spoken conversation. Make sure: {{LIST it follows *the specific scenario mentioned above*, it includes *at least 10 exchanges* (an exchange is one user turn and one assistant turn), both the assistant and user *confirm the ticket details* before booking, the assistant confirms the purchase with: *“Your tickets are confirmed and they’ve been sent to your email address.”* }}

SPEAKING STYLES: {{LIST The assistant is polite and efficient, The assistant’s speaking style should match yours but they are not overly formal or too casual, Don’t call your assistant by name (e.g. “Johnny” or “Alexa” or “Assistant” or “Computer”), Just assume they’re already listening to you., Do NOT talk about seating preferences OR screening technologies like 3D etc.}}
