{% hint style="info" %}
Events in the response are grouped by main\_event and sub\_events. In VdM every event has a main\_event and at least one sub\_event. This allows for different performances of the same show to be grouped.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Note that the field event\_free for free seats is censored in the public facing API's: it will show the maximum available tickets per order (or less, if less are available) and reveals nothing about actual capacity/sales.
