Just eval it using whatever library is relevant to the language you're parsing it into. The format is a list of values and lists - so from the resulting structure you'll just need to traverse the lists to get to the pieces that you're interested in. Without more context, I can't provide any brilliant insight into what the values mean in those lists, but doing a little googlin' digging makes me thing you're looking at data related to football club tickets and/or games.
