    Is there a waitlist program that is capable of working with Event Tickets Plus & WooCommerce?

    Hi,

    Thank you for reaching out to us. I hope you’re doing well.

    Unfortunately we don’t have that functionality at the moment.

    But there’s a workaround. Some folks have started using RSVPs for that. You can add RSVPs “tickets” to sold out events. This allows users to share their email address if they are interested in attending. You can then email the list of interested users when a ticket becomes available.

    With some minor wording modification you can even rename RSVP to “Waitlist” and change any other verbiage to help make this a decent wait list feature for your website.

    Best,
    Juan.

    Hi @nicknagle,

    Thank you for the follow-up. You have several ways of achieving that.

    You could doing it by customizing the templates, or directly by adding some function to override the strings. For your particular case I’d incline for the latter.

    I have put together a script for you to include in your theme functions.php file (without the PHP tag at the top). You can find the script here:

    But first to be extra safe, before making any changes to your functions.php file, you should make a backup of that file.

    Best,
    Juan.

    Hi – This partially worked, however the Going did not change (the button nor the # going) and where it says 2 days to RSVP need to be able to change that also/

    Hi @nicknagle,

    Thanks for the follow-up.

    I’ve updated the script I shared previously with you to have these changes.

    Thank you. Will try it. I also saw that it still sends a ticket for the waitlist. Is there a way that can be turned off.

    When they waitlist they should not get a ticket to the event.

    Hi @nicknagle,

    Thank you for the follow-up. To disable RSVP emails you could add the following snippet:

    add_filter( 'tribe_tickets_rsvp_send_mail', '__return_false' );

    Hi again,

    We haven’t heard from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved. Feel free to start a new thread if you have any more questions!

    Best,
