OH Mason- pour is VERY confusing for us English speakers. It has many uses... But one of the ones that you learn is that in can be used to mean "in order to, or for the purpose of". So for example, in the phrase above- you are buying tickets for what purpose? To go to the theater, right? So a "pour" is needed. The way I do it, is I'd look at that phrase and I'd say: can I say I'm going to buy some tickets for the purpose of going to the theater? : FOR going to the theater? -- YES, so bam, Pour should be there. I realize we don't speak or think like that in English, but it usually does the trick for me. After a while you start getting used to it! Keep going, you are doing great...
