Any guesses for what chaos awaits us on this train?
Edit to add: This is not the ticket, it was printed alongside the actual ticket, after asking for seating preferences.

It means you can sit anywhere you want and you’re not stuck in an assigned seat.
You get on the train early you can have any seat you want.
This seems like the exact opposite of infuriating.
Then why do you also need this piece of paper that doesn’t even seem to function as a ticket?
My money is on it being part of the ticketing computer’s programming.
They only issue as many tickets as seats. They just don’t tell you what seat to take.
Read the full text. This, despite appearances, is not in itself a ticket.
Read their full comment. They never argued otherwise
The only way to understand their comment is that they think it’s a ticket that they only printed as many as they have seats. Otherwise its a non sequitur as it doesn’t explain the purpose of printing a second slip that says you don’t have an assigned seat.
That’s… optimistic?
That’s in fact absolutely false.
Very, very incorrect. You’ll very likely be standing with this scenario. No seat number? No seat, unless you’re very very lucky, or you happen to be getting on at the train start station and it’s there very early and so are you.
Provided that someone doesn’t have a specific seat booked.
In my experience it should be called general seating or something along those lines if it isn’t for a specific reserved seat.
