They couldn't __ plane tickets. (A) get (B) buy
If the tickets were sold out, which is the correct choice?

| I would say they couldn't get. This shows that tickets weren't available anymore. If you say they couldn't buy tickets, this implies that they had no money or other means (for instance a credit card) to buy them. To me, it gives a different meaning. |
