Where it works well
Make a small venue's availability and seat selection legible without burying the experience in checkout chrome.
Reduced motion
Selection changes color and check state without lift. Keyboard selections also update immediately.
Things to know
Local demonstration with fixed availability and a two-seat limit. Real booking requires server-side holds, live inventory, prices and checkout.
