Hello Stephen,
There are 2 features to enhance the user experience that I would like to see implemented in the front end event booking form.
1.- We already talked about it a couple of years ago : When a ticket for an event is fully booked, it actually disappears from the booking form. I would like to have the option to keep it displayed but with the “SOLD OUT” mention instead of the ticket selection field.
2.- I believe this could be beneficial to add a feature in this form when a ticket is sold out to propose a “Email me if a ticket is released”. I regularly have people booking free events but with limited seats who are canceling their registration before the event to release their place. This would allow people who want to participate to an event to be informed ba email that a seat is released.
all the best!

Hi Jef,
1) I’ll need to take another look at this. The booking form (javascript) has been re-factored a couple of times and does a better job of separating business logic from the form itself. This should make this easier to achieve.
2) This has been requested before, albeit it in a slightly less workable form. They wanted a waiting list where the first person would get the ticket if there were any vacancies. There are problems with this relating to payment collection (or pre-collection, and refunds) as well as what to do if the next person on the list wants 2 tickets, but only 1 space is available (do you skip them?).
But a blanket e-mail to all interested parties to the effect of “first come first served” navigates around those problems.
This is already doable, but I’m not sure the demand is there to warrant implementing it in the plug-in. (I am, however, available if you require this sort of feature).
