Tests:

jsonata
var jsonataResult = jsonata('subEvent.offers.acceptedPaymentMethod').evaluate(result).join(' ');
simple
var simpleResult = get(['subEvent','offers','acceptedPaymentMethod'])(result).join(' ');
jspath
var jsPathResult = JSPath.apply('.subEvent.offers.acceptedPaymentMethod', result).join(' ');
jmespath
var jmespathResult = jmespath.search(result, 'subEvent[].offers[].acceptedPaymentMethod[]').join(' ');
control
result.subEvent.map(s => s.offers.map(o => o.acceptedPaymentMethod)).flat(2).join(' ')
jspath+predicates
var jsPathResult = JSPath.apply('."imin:aggregateOffer".publicAdult{.price > 0 && .priceCurrency > "."}[-1]', result);
