I have am either missing a brace or have an extra brace somewhere. This code is also incomplete as I'm still working on the program. The "else" error is a squiggly red line underneath the "else" for the customer does not have a discount coupon.

Thanks!

Usually, fixing the indentation will reveal such problems:

            //ticket purchase while loop
            while (ticType == 1 || ticType == 2 || ticType == 3)
            {//while the ticket type equals 1, 2 or 3

                if (ticType == 1)

                    cout << "Please enter the number of tickets (1-10): " << endl << endl;
                    cin >> numTic;
                }
                if (numTic > 0 && numTic <= 10)
                {//if number of toddler tickets is between 1-10
                    cout << "Do you have a discount coupon today?" << endl;
                    cout << "Enter 1 for YES or 2 for NO: " << endl;
                    cin >> discountQues;
                }
                if (discountQues == 1)
                {//if customer has a discount coupon
                    totalCost = (TODDLER_TIC * numTic) - (TODDLER_TIC * numTic * DISCOUNT);
                    totalNumTic += numTic;
                    totalRevenue += totalCost;
                }
                if (totalNumTic >= MAX_SEAT_COUNT)
                {//if the total number of tickets equals the maximum seat count

                    cout << MAX_SEAT_COUNT <<       extraTic <<       totalNumTic;

                    cout << toddlerTicTotal <<      juniorTicTotal << seniorTicTotal;
                    cout << "GROSS FOR TODAY: $" << totalRevenue << endl << endl;
                }
                else

                }
            else
            {//else the customer does not have a discount coupon
                totalCost = TODDLER_TIC * numTic;
                totalNumTic += numTic;

            " is 10. Please enter a number between 1-10." << endl;
            cin >> numTic;
        }       
    else if (ticType == 2)
    {
    }
    else if (ticType == 3)
    {
    }// end if  
}//end while

See, there is obviously a problem there, you end up three levels of indentation lower than at the start of the while-loop!
