Setting Attendee Capacity

Control how many people can attend your event — and what happens when it's full.

Setting a capacity limit

1. Go to your event → Registration → Settings
2. Enter the Maximum Capacity
3. Enable Waitlist if you want to capture overflow
4. Save

💡 Pro-Tipp: Set capacity slightly below your venue's actual limit (e.g., 90%). This accounts for plus-ones and last-minute registrations.

When capacity is reached

• Registration closes automatically
• If waitlist is enabled: new visitors see "Join Waitlist"
• If waitlist is disabled: new visitors see "Event Full"

Waitlist management

When someone cancels, the first person on the waitlist is automatically promoted and notified via email.

FAQ

Can I increase capacity after publishing?
Yes — just update the number. New spots open immediately.
