And here is my code.....

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int ticket, TotalPrice;
char seats, ans;

do
{
system("cls");

cout<< " Welcome to One World Ticket\n";
cout<< " Reservation System\n\n\n\n";
cout<< "How many ticket(s) would you like to reserve?: ";
cin>> ticket;
cout<< "Select seating area\n\n(Fs-Front Seats\n LBS-Lower Box Seats\n UBS-Upper Box Seats\n GPS-Gen. Patronage Seats): ";
cin>> seats;


if ((seats=='FS')||(seats=='fs')){
cout<<"\n\n===============================\n\n";
cout<<"Reserved number of ticket(s): "<<ticket;
cout<<"\nSeating area is: Front Seat";
cout<<"\nYour total bill is: "<<TotalPrice;
TotalPrice=15000*ticket;
cout<<"\n\nThank you for patronizing One World Ticket reservation system!\n";}

else if ((seats=='LBS')||(seats=='lbs')){
cout<<"\n\n===============================\n\n";
cout<<"Reserved number of ticket(s): "<<ticket;
cout<<"\nSeating area is: Lower Box Seat";
cout<<"\nYour total bill is: "<<TotalPrice;
cout<<"\n\nThank you for patronizing One World Ticket reservation system!\n";
TotalPrice=10000*ticket;}

else if ((seats=='UBS')||(seats=='ubs')){
cout<<"\n\n===============================\n\n";
cout<<"Reserved number of ticket(s): "<<ticket;
cout<<"\nSeating area is: Upper Box Seat";
cout<<"\nYour total bill is: "<<TotalPrice;
cout<<"\n\nThank you for patronizing One World Ticket reservation system!\n";
TotalPrice=5000*ticket;}

else if ((seats=='GPS')||(seats=='gps')){
cout<<"\n\n===============================\n\n";
cout<<"Reserved number of ticket(s): "<<ticket;
cout<<"\nSeating area is: General Patronage Seat";
cout<<"\nYour total bill is: "<<TotalPrice;
cout<<"\n\nThank you for patronizing One World Ticket reservation system!\n";
TotalPrice=1500*ticket;}

else{
cout<<"Invalid input.";
}

/*cout<<"\n\n===============================\n\n";
cout<<"Reserved number of ticket(s): "<<ticket;
cout<<"\nSeating Area is "<<seats;
cout<<"\nYour Total Bill is "<<TotalPrice;
cout<<"\n\nThank you for patronizing One World Ticket reservation system!\n";*/
cout<<"Do you want to try again?: type [Y] if yes, [N] if no: ";
cin>>ans;*/

}while(ans=='y'||ans=='Y');

system("pause>0");
}


my biggest headache is the program goes straight to the last "else" giving me "wrong input" message regardless of what i input. many thanks in advance!

Include header <string>, declare seats as
std::string seats;

and compare it with string literals as for example

if ( seats == "FS" || seats= == "fs" ) {

aaarrgghh!! that's a real big help. i have one more problem though

if ((seats=='FS')||(seats=='fs')){
cout<<"\n\n===============================\n\n";
cout<<"Reserved number of ticket(s): "<<ticket;
cout<<"\nSeating area is: Front Seat";
cout<<"\nYour total bill is: "<<TotalPrice;
TotalPrice=15000*ticket;
cout<<"\n\nThank you for patronizing One World Ticket reservation system!\n";}

it says my variable "TotalPrice" is being used without being initialized
maybe that's why it's not doing any computation at all.
how do you initialize this one?
again thank you for taking the time to answer.

You output TotalPrice but you did not assign it a value.

cout<<"\nYour total bill is: "<<TotalPrice;
