The faulty reference in the sentence is the plural pronoun 'they' is used to take the place of the singular noun 'theater'. In some cases, it is acceptable to use the plural pronoun 'they' to take the place of a singular noun for a group of people or things. However, the noun 'theater' is not a word for a group, it's a word for an inanimate thing.

The sentence must be reworded, for example:

You called the theater about tickets but no oneanswered.

The compound word 'no one' is an indefinite pronoun, a word that takes the place of a noun for an unknown or unnamed person.
