HOW TO ADD A WAITING LIST
Creation Date: April 15, 2024
Typical waiting lists might be a bit dull, but with TicketingHub, we've turned waiting lists into a dynamic, user-friendly feature. Our unique approach allows you to gauge customer interest in dates that aren't yet available for booking, enabling you to determine which potential dates are most in-demand. This way, you can prioritize the tours that are most likely to fill up and skip those that are less popular
For instance, one of our clients discovered a surge of interest for tours on Thursdays. By introducing Thursday tours based on this information, they significantly increased their annual turnover.
This guide will walk you through how to use the TicketingHub waiting list feature effectively.
If you leave the space under 'Waiting List Enabled' blank, it will direct clients to the TicketingHub Waiting List.
you can insert a link to your own waiting list (for instance, a Google Form).
From a customer's perspective, the waiting list feature is user-friendly and easy to navigate. The customer will find an option to join the waiting list at the bottom of the widget:
"No suitable date? Join the waiting list!"
This message can be customized to fit your brand's tone and language using a custom translation file (please contact us for assistance with this).
Upon selecting the 'Join Waiting List' option, the customer is redirected to the waiting list page. Here, they can choose more than one date that works for them.

The customer can then enter their information and select their preferred dates.
As a supplier, the waiting list feature offers you an easy way to manage potential bookings.
Here's how to manage customers on your waiting list.
