Home WordPress Events Calendar Plugin – MEC Addons Waiting List

Waiting List

Turn sold-out events into a smart waiting queue. When tickets run out, the booking form is replaced by a waiting list form, and as soon as a spot opens up, the next person in line receives a time-limited offer to claim their seat, automatically and in fair queue order.
