Protip for event organizers: A waitlist for an event is also a maybe list. If spots become available and you release tickets, only 1 in 3 waitlisters will take them, the other 2 joined because a waitlist spot is a zero-cost option. So a waitlist of 15 is really only 5 deep.

Allow waitlisters to pay an option price up to some fraction of ticket price set by organizer, and show top bid. Allow organizer to release tickets in order of bid price, and adjust against ticket price if exercised

Eg: refactorcamp ticket is $95. I might allow people to bid up to $10. If top WL bid is $5, and they take a released ticket, they pay $90. If they decline, we get the $5 less EB commission. Point isn’t to get more $ for event budget (which is nice) but separate wants and maybes.

Are you on the WL and bought an LA ticket? If so I’ll bump you up

Whoa okay I’ll bump you to top. Almost certain to be at least 1 more cancellation so we should be able to get you in 🙂
Yo Aaron I released a ticket for you and looks like you let the window expire. Do you still want it? If not I’ll release to next person.
