Reinvention prototype · variant A of 3 · The One Seat · Pool 2 idea 2
The One Seat — The Seat
One, and nothing about anybody else. The clean test of whether “one” carries the offer by itself. No announced opening time anywhere in this set — that is the one thing separating idea 2 from the Seat Release set, so this flow has five states, not six. Same journey, prices and one seat in all three variants. Both outcomes are reachable.

You haven’t been charged. Nothing left your card.
