Yes, I'm sure. The two sentences that correctly use "their" are indeed:

1. **I am a big fan of the string quartet, and I attended their recital last week.** (Correct use of "their" to indicate possession.)

2. **Their food is pretty good, but the restaurant's ambiance is what makes it great.** (Correct use of "their" to indicate possession regarding the restaurant's food.)

The other sentences either misuse "their" or contain grammatical errors:

- **Their only going to be in New York for a week, so try to contact them soon.** (Should be "They're" instead of "Their.")
- **I have only seen the pickleball court once, but I want to go their again.** (Should be "there" instead of "their.")
- **Since their planning on returning this afternoon, Sue and Gene left the keys.** (Should be "they're" instead of "their.")

Thank you for prompting me to clarify!
