## Ticket types

| ticket type id | name | price | currency | buyable now | per order | approval | sales end |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `SxRCTUKLEaoma72deZBQ` | General Admission | free | usd | yes | 1–2 | required | — |

Prices exclude the service fee. `buyable now` is a boolean, not a count —
remaining stock is the organizer's information and is not published; create
a checkout session to find out whether a given quantity fits.

## Buying this for a person

Two ways, depending on what you can do:

- You can pay with a Stripe Shared Payment Token: buy it yourself through the
  API (see "Buying this through the API" below, when this event has it).
- You can't: send the buyer the link for the ticket they want. It opens Gomry
  checkout with that ticket selected, and they pay there with a card, Apple Pay
  or Google Pay. No credential and no payment token needed.

- General Admission (free): https://www.gomry.com/event/From-Zurich-to-Silicon-Valley-How-the-Silicon-Valley-ecosystem-really-works-1BKhIjihranhuIKcgme8/getTickets?utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=catalogApi&ticket_type=SxRCTUKLEaoma72deZBQ

## Buying this through the API, end to end

This ticket is free, so any agent can buy it end to end: no payment token.
Call `complete` with a body of `{}`, without `payment_data`.

The `ticket type id` column above is `items[].id` below. This body is
complete and can be sent as it stands, with the buyer details replaced:

```
POST https://www.gomry.com/api/v1/checkout_sessions
Authorization: Bearer <token>
API-Version: 2025-09-12
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "items": [
    {
      "id": "SxRCTUKLEaoma72deZBQ",
      "quantity": 1
    }
  ],
  "buyer": {
    "name": "Ada Lovelace",
    "email": "ada@example.com"
  }
}
```

The response `totals` is the authoritative price — it includes the service
fee, which is not in the table above and depends on the cart and the
organizer's fee settings. Never compute a total from this document.
