Is it possible to get into boarding group 1 or 2 without purchasing a TimeFlex ticket or SpaceOne seat? I don't see a way to purchase priority boarding as a standalone benefit yet most of the plane seems to be in group 2 or higher. I purchased a walk-up ticket on the app while at LGW (literally, after an EasyJet cancellation) and there was no escape from group 3 despite the eye-watering cost of the ticket.

(Legroom in the bad seats was tolerable for 1.5hr or less, I'd say - same as Wizzair).
