yes but the logic of the syntax follows that english description, not
the syntax that you might be familiar with from some other programming
languages. You want _a_ variable binding, the _value_ of which depends on
an boolean test, so that's

<xsl:variable name="numTickets">
<xsl:choose>
 	<xsl:when test="price_type = 56">8</xsl:when>
 	<xsl:when test="price_type = 57">4</xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>9</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>
