Use this interactive demo to learn how to set up a waitlist for your Eventbrite event.

Quick summary

Eventbrite's waitlist feature lets event organizers capture attendee interest even after tickets sell out, ensuring no potential guest is lost. This step-by-step guide shows how to add people to an event waitlist directly from the Eventbrite organizer dashboard.


Steps

  1. On Eventbrite's main home page, navigate to the left-side panel and click 'Events'.
  2. Select the event where you want to add a waitlist.
  3. Click the 'Order Options' tab in the event dashboard.
  4. Choose 'Manage Waitlist' from the list of options.
  5. Tap 'Add People to the Waitlist'.
  6. Fill in all required attendee details including Email Address, First Name, Last Name, and Phone Number in their respective input fields.
  7. Submit the form — a new waitlist entry will be successfully added to your Eventbrite event.

📌 Why this matters

Eventbrite's waitlist feature is essential for event organizers who want to maximize attendance and capture demand beyond their ticket capacity. When an event sells out, a waitlist ensures potential attendees remain engaged and can be automatically notified if spots become available. This reduces revenue loss from no-shows and helps organizers gauge true demand for future events. For any organizer running high-demand events, knowing how to set up and manage a waitlist in Eventbrite is a critical skill for full-house success.
