How to Enable Waitlists

SimpleTix now allows you to create waitlists.

This feature automatically activates once your tickets are sold out.

It will let your ticket buyers sign up and get notified once additional tickets are back in stock.






See below for a step-by-step guide on how to enable waitlists


1. Go to manager.simpletix.com

2. Once logged in, from the top menu click on Events.

  • You can then notify potential buyers by going back to the Waitlist page.
  • Select the attendees you'd like to notify then click Email Selected.




10. You can now add your preferred message and click Send.



With the Waitlist On, if you refund or cancel an order we will notify 3x the number of spots on the waitlist than tickets that were refunded. So if for example, you refunded 3 tickets, we will notify 9 people on the waitlist that tickets are available.
