 *
 * @param string $translation The translated text.
 * @param string $text    	The text to translate.
 * @param string $domain  	The domain slug of the translated text.
 *
 * @return string The translated text or the custom text.
 */
 
add_filter( 'gettext', 'tribe_change_get_tickets', 20, 4 );
function tribe_change_get_tickets( $translation, $text, $domain) {    
  if ( $domain != 'default'
   	&& strpos( $domain, 'event-' ) !== 0
  ) {
	return $translation;
  }
 
  $ticket_text = [
	// Get Tickets on List View
	'%s are no longer available'  	=> 'Sold Out',
  ];
 
  // If we don't have replacement text, bail.
  if ( empty( $ticket_text[ $text ] ) ) {
	return $translation;
  }
 
  return $ticket_text[ $text ];
}
