We don't automatically enable a waitlist once your event fills to capacity, but you can manually set up a waitlist a few ways:

SIMPLE REGISTRATION & RSVP REGISTRATION

We recommend updating your confirmation messaging. You can include a notice under the Registration Closed heading asking interested guests to email you to be added to the waitlist.

You can also create a secondary registration form to collect guest information. To create a secondary registration form, go to your Event Dashboard, then Registration > Advanced under the Setup heading. Scroll down and click Add/Manage under Secondary Registration Forms. Then, set up your waitlist registration and include a link or button on your main event web page for guests to add themselves to the waitlist.

TICKETED REGISTRATION OR MULTI-EVENT REGISTRATION

We recommend creating a secondary registration form to collect guest information. To create a secondary registration form, go to your Event Dashboard, then Registration > Advanced under the Setup heading. Scroll down and click Add/Manage under Secondary Registration Forms. Then, set up your waitlist registration and include a link or button on your main event web page for guests to add themselves to the waitlist.

You could also set up a $0 ticket/sub-event for Waitlist. This would allow your attendees to register their interest after the main event fills up.
