URGENT !! Native speaker, please help !
Please kindly help me to clarify the following? Many thanks !!
A: Please confirm the following bookings asap, because today is the deadline for issuing the tickets.
B: We will buy !!
Did B mean that A can issue the tickets for him right now?? or did he mean that he will buy some tickets by himself ?
I think he was giving permission to A for issuing the tickets, but still not sure, so pleas help.
Many thanks,
S.

No idea - it's a very odd answer to A. A asks about several bookings: 'following bookings' - yet B only talks of 'we' - B's own personal booking possibly? Or B might be bulk-buying tickets?

- Or were there lots of other people there and A was asking them all as a group, and B was replying just on his own behalf, and the others haven't answered yet.
- Really it's an odd answer even if those were what B wanted to communicate.
