Hello Susanna
Thank you for sharing that with us, but is there any particular point you wanted to make, or question you wanted to ask?

oh yes sorry I was working on that. When I run it, the window (that asks the user to input how many tickets & prices) is blank. I was trying to figure out how to fix that.

You have a load of JPanels that you don't need. You add the lables and fields to these panels, but that doesn't get them into the main mwindow. Forget the JPanels and just add your labels and text fields directly to the main window. (In real life there are reasons why you may use a JPanel or two, but this exercise isn't one of those)
