Waitlists

Process

Follow the steps below to register a person that's on the waitlist. This process is manual and it is considered best practice to get the payment information from the waitlisted person before starting this process.

Event Configuration

In order for a registrant to be placed on a waitlist, the below settings must be applied:

  • The event ticket type enables waitlists
  • The ticket type capacity has been hit
  • One or more waitlist records have been created

Considerations

  • Money will not be collected when a person has been added to the waitlist
  • The process is manual and it's up to the event planner to determine which registrants are taken off the waitlist first
  • Additional tickets cannot be purchased until all existing waitlist records are registered (regardless of any increase in capacity)
