A list of interested individuals who register to be notified if tickets become available after an event sells out. Waitlists capture latent demand and allow organizers to release additional tickets or fill spots from cancellations.
Waitlists help you gauge true demand beyond initial capacity, fill last-minute cancellations, and build audience for future events. Events with waitlists typically fill 80-90% of cancelled tickets within 48 hours.
