Do you have a ticket for a rock concert in September?

自然な表現

Do you have a ticket for a rock concert in September?

1. Great sentence, no mistakes!
Yes, I do. I didn't want to sell them but I'm afraid I will not be able to use them. You are going to pay twice the face valve price because all the tickets are sold out, only this one. Should I give you one?

It’s much too expensive. If the price is almost the same as the face value, I wish I could buy it. Could you give me a discount?

1. Great sentence, no mistakes!
I can only give you a discount if you buy two of these. These tickets have very good seats. You will be able to enjoy the concert more if you buy them.

I'm going by myself, so I don't need two seats. I will pay 1.3 times price to one. How about that?

I'm going by myself, so I don't need two seats. I will pay 1.3 times the price of one. How about that?

1. Use the definite article when talking about something specific.
2. This is the correct choice of prepositions.
If you give me 50% more than the price of one ticket I will sell it to you. Is that OK? I need to return some of my money because I might not be able to see the second ticket.

Fair enough. I will buy it with the time and a half of one ticket.

自然な表現

Fair enough. I will buy it for one time the price and a half of one ticket.

1. This expression sounds more natural and clear in this context.
Then it's a deal. Here are your tickets. Enjoy the concert. Could you give me two notes for $100 dollars? I need some change.

Thank you. I get excited when I think I can go. Ok, I will exchange it. Here you are. Bye!
