Hi,
Five thousand tickets were sold. 
Let x and (5000-x)represent the number of $6 tickets and $3 tickets respectively
Question states***
 $6x + $3(5000-x) = $18,000
Solving for x
     3x = 3000
      x = 1000, number of $6 tickets.  4000 $3 tickets sold
      
CHECKING our Answer***
 $6*1000 + $3*4000 = $6000 +  $12,000 = $18,000
