Manage places and respond to demand

When an event reaches capacity and a waitlist is available, additional participants can join the queue. When a place opens, the next person can be added automatically under that event's configured waitlist rules. This helps organisers fill available places without manually contacting every interested person.

Joining a waitlist does not guarantee entry. Participants should check the event and any updates to their registration, and follow any payment or confirmation instructions that apply when a place becomes available.

A social sports session has reached its participant limit. Another person joins the waitlist. If a confirmed participant cancels and the event's rules release that place, the next eligible waitlisted person can move into it. The organiser can then work from the updated registration information.

Where an event offers Add guest or Plus One registration, check the guest details, total booking and any charges before completing the registration. Each person attending needs a place under the event's conditions. Do not assume that one confirmed place or one waitlist entry covers an entire group.

These tools apply to the bookings managed through RealTime Sports. If an event sends participants to an external booking platform, its registration and waitlist arrangements are handled there unless the organiser explicitly provides another process.
