🛠️ What this means

• eventId → Ticketmaster’s internal event ID
• facets → Seat/section-level availability data
• inventoryTypes → resale / primary
• offers → Encoded Ticketmaster offers
• places / placeGroups → Venue seat mapping

👉 With TicketsData API, you don’t just get this raw structure — you also get it cleaned, normalized, and enriched so you can build apps faster.
