Sim, Cybeles, aqui nos compramos "seats" para o teatro, mas "ticket" também se usa quando se trata de um show..., bem que "pista" normalmente é um corridor que nao tem assentos...

Notes to answerer
Asker: Seria possível traduzir "pista" neste contexto como "standing room ticket"?

agree  Mario Freitas: Yes, except the "pista" tickets are usually standing up, not seated.
4 hrs
  -> Thanks, Mario, I did add "standing aisle" afterwards

agree  Nick Taylor: Box tickets not floor tickets
8 hrs
  -> Thanks, Nick, yes, tickets would be a better fit

agree  Margarida Ataide
9 hrs
  -> Thanks itineuropa

agree  Gilmar Fernandes: Agree with Mario ref. PISTA = standing, some venues call them GA Floor tickets.
13 hrs
  -> Thanks, Gilmar

agree  Ana Costa
14 hrs
  -> Thanks, Ana

disagree  Richard Purdom: this is simple conversational English, why is it translated literally? If you read the whole sentence, the speaker didn't actually buy a box ticket anyway, and the important bit is that nobody wanted to know about the complaint.

  -> OK, that's your opinion against six others...
