Modern Events Calendar Waiting List 1.5.0
Modern Events Calendar Waiting List is a WordPress add-on that creates a post-sale waiting form to capture interested attendees after tickets sell out.

Ideal for event organizers seeking easy, scalable waitlist management with elegant design and smooth integration.
Description
The Modern Events Calendar Waiting List is a WordPress add-on that helps you capture interest after ticket reservations are fully booked. When an event reaches a sold-out state, it creates a post-sale waiting form so visitors can request a spot if an attendee cancels.
Instead of losing potential attendees, the plugin keeps a structured queue and moves people from the waiting list to the main list automatically. Transfers are handled by reservation priority, helping you fill openings faster and reduce last-minute cancellations.
Built to fit naturally into your existing Modern Events Calendar workflow, it supports smoother event operations while keeping the experience clear for both organizers and guests.
