Join the waitlist for a full event
When an event sells out completely, you can take a numbered place in line.
When an event sells out completely, the checkout offers a waitlist instead of a purchase.
Joining
- Open the event. If every ticket type is sold out, the checkout shows Join the waitlist in place of the ticket picker.
- Enter your name and email.
- If you're holding out for a specific tier — VIP, say — pick it; otherwise leave it on any.
You'll see your position in line straight away.
What happens next
The host sees the waitlist — names, in order — and works from it when space opens up: someone cancels, held tickets get released, or capacity goes up. Keep an eye on your inbox and on the event page; if spots reopen, the event is buyable again.
Things worth knowing
- Joining a waitlist is free and doesn't touch your payment method.
- Your place is held against the tier you picked — waiting on VIP doesn't put you in line for General Admission.
- There's no way to buy your way up the list.
